 FRÉDÉRIC FRANÇOIS CHOPIN

 (1810-1849)

 
Polish composer and pianist of partly French descent.

 Born at Zelazowa Wola, near Warsaw; studied in Warsaw; settled in Paris, touring from there (e.g. to England and Scotland).

 
Never revisited Poland (under Russian Occupation) but was keen patriot and student of Polish literature.

Never married; met 'George Sand' (real name Aurore Dudevant) 1838, and lived with her till 1847;
suffered from consumption, gave his last public concert in 1848, and died in Paris.

Works - nearly all for piano, and equally remarkable for harmonic imagination and for use of piano technique.
