9th Annual

Perhaps the greatest of all composers for the piano
was Frédéric Chopin.
Called a "musical genius" when he was a teenager,
Chopin composed a remarkable variety of brilliant pieces
– warlike
polonaises, elegant waltzes, romantic nocturnes, and poetic ballades and
etudes.
His father, Nicholas, was a Frenchman who lived in Poland for
many years. His Polish mother was of noble birth.
