Frederic Chopin (jan 1, 1810 – jan 1, 1849)

Description:

Another infamous piano virtuoso and composer of the Romantic Period, Chopin's talent was apparent even at a very young age, beginning public performances and compositions at the age of 7. Even though he did produce a lot of chamber music, he was more sought after for his work with the piano. Unlike many other famed musicians, Chopin began his life in Poland with a taste of Warsaw's society (from father). But still, he still did move to Vienna in the late 1820's for a broader opportunity. Chopin later also worked in Paris as a teacher and recitalist, where he steadily composed pieces ever since, until his death in 1849.
