Frédéric Chopin
Frédéric Chopin is the poet of the piano — the composer of the nocturnes, waltzes and preludes. Hear his music performed live.
Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849), born in Poland and based in Paris, devoted almost his entire output to the piano, and transformed it forever. His nocturnes, études, waltzes, polonaises and the "Raindrop" Prelude combine intimate lyricism, dazzling technique and a distinctly Polish soul. A reluctant performer who preferred salons to grand halls, Chopin wrote music of profound feeling and refinement. Performed live, the delicacy and emotion of his playing tradition come fully to life.
