Frederic Chopin was a renowned pianist and composer. The genius made his debut in 1818, by playing a concerto by Gyrowetz. In year of 1824, he entered the Warsaw Conservatory and premiered his F minor and E minor Concerti in Warsaw in the month of March and October of 1830. He left Poland forever in that same year. He got established in Vienna and started performing there for eight months and in 1831 arrived in Paris. There he played his F minor Concerto early in 1832. After the year1835, he started avoiding to give appearances as a concert pianist. That time his main source of income was teaching. After his last recital in Paris early in 1848, he moved to Great Britain. He took his last breath in Paris in 1849. At his funeral was held at the Madeleine and Mozart’s Requiem was given. He is buried at Pere-Lachaise; there every day flowers were placed on his grave.


He spent most of his life in Warsaw. He was able to hear many of the best artists of the time perform there. That time, Italian opera and singing in general had a strong impact on him, through the performances of great singers like Angelica Catalani. ...
... Long before that Chopin was learning from his violinistic feats.


Hummel's tentative Romanticism and richly ornamented keyboard layout ignited Chopin’s precocious genius. Other musicians also influenced him during his adolescence included Spohr’s then strangely exotic chromaticism, From the age of eight, Chopin occupied himself with the dance form and music of his home land, haunted by their rhythms, dreaming of an idealized Poland. His last page of music was a mazurka.


Chopin developed his own techniques as a pianist. Those days, Warsaw had no piano teachers of importance. Adalbert Zywny awestruck by his pupil’s talents, let Chopin sprout his own unique wings. This musical genius was a new and freer pianist, free from the conventional discipline and techniques of stiff bodily action. His revolutionary music was entirely new, demanding novel forms of hand coordination and extremely heart touching and pleasant. Then Chopin came up with his revolutionary Chopin etudes, that have come to rule the world of piano playing. It formed an encyclopedic methodology, a summary of Chopin’s enlargedvision of piano technique. He was one of the most original harmonists in history, creating an exquisite chromatic garden. He extended the scope of the left hand and it constitutes a miracle of imagination.


He influenced, pianistically and harmonically, to two centuries. His music remains the most frequently played musical pieces in history. He is considered as one of the few universal masters in music.
