My favorite classical musicians - Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin – (Piano Poet)
Around thousand classical musicians that I discovery. The most classical musicians I admire and my favorite is Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin . Normally he called Piano Poet pianist because he is more into First time I listen to his classical music pieces is from the original soundtrack of korean drama “ Spring Waltz ” . In his world of music which can always be as graceful lyrical feeling. Before I started to introduce the favorite pieces of Chopin , I apologize to all the Chopin music lover if there are any errors . Because the views of evaluation of the songs is all my own opinion . Now , Let me bringing you all into the Chopin music world .
I-History
First at all , let me introduce a little bit about Chopin history . Frederic Chopin was born in Poland. Poland remains proud of Chopin as a Polish-born citizen, even though this “second Mozart” left Poland at age 20 to pursue his career in Western Europe. Chopin’s likeness can be seen on the faces of statues in Poland and has been featured on banknotes. His name was even given to one of Poland’s best potato vodkas. And while Chopin’s body is buried in Paris, his heart is encased in a pillar in the Holy Cross Church in Warsaw.
In Paris, Chopin made a comfortable living as a composer and piano teacher, while giving few public performances. Though an ardent Polish patriot, in France he used the French versions of his names and eventually, to avoid having to rely on Imperial Russian documents, became a French citizen. After some ill-fated romantic involvements with Polish women, from 1837 to 1847 he had a turbulent relationship with the French authoress George Sand. Always in frail health, he died in Paris in 1849, aged thirty-nine, of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Chopin’s love affair with George Sand is one of the most interesting aspects of his short life. The French Romantic writer met Chopin in the late 1830s. The couple traveled in the warmer climates of Europe in order to keep Chopin out of the northern winters, which were extremely hard on his delicate health. Earlier in this same decade, Chopin was plagued with ill health – so much so that one engagement was made and called off. Chopin was a victim of tuberculosis, which eventually claimed his life, and no doubt put strain on his relationship with George Sand.
