Frederic Chopin


Frederic Chopin is one of the greatest composer and pianist of the Romantic school.

He was born in Poland and the influence of Italian opera composer Vincenzo Bellini can also be heard in his pieces: ballades, scherzos and piano studies. Also a heroic spirit marks his polonaises while his mazurkas reflect the rhythms and melodic traits of Polish folk music.
An exquisite melody of great originality and a poetic beauty characteriz his romantic and lyrical music.

Chopin influenced other composers, especially the Hungarian pianist and composer Franz Liszt, and the French composer Claude Debussy.
