| | Encyclopedia article on Frédéric Chopin [EncycloZine] |
 | | Chopin's music for the piano combined a unique rhythmic sense (particularly his use of rubato, chromatic inflections, and the style of Johann Sebastian Bach), as well as a piano technique which was of his own creation. | | | According to the artist himself and his family, Chopin was born on March 1, 1810. | | | Frédéric-François Chopin (March 1, 1810 – October 17, 1849) is widely seen as the greatest of Polish composers and among the very greatest of composers for the piano, the instrument for which he wrote almost exclusively. |

| | Frédéric François Chopin |
| | Finally, Chopin is remembered as one of the first nationalist composers, using the themes and dances of his native Poland as the sources for his pieces (especially the polonaises and mazurkas). | | | Chopin carried on a long-term romantic affair with the writer George Sand (Aurore Dudevant), spending periods of great creativity at her estate in Nohant. | | | In every way, Chopin was the quintessential "Romantic" composer, and Robert Schumann's initial reaction to his music ("Hats off, gentlemen, a genius") was borne out in his short but spectacular career. |

| | Frédéric Chopin |
| | Chopin is admired above all for his great originality in exploiting the piano. | | | While his own playing style was famous for its subtlety and restraint, its exquisite delicacy in contrast with the spectacular feats of pianism then reigning in Paris, most of his works have a simple texture of accompanied melody. | | | By all accounts an inspired improviser, he composed while playing, writing down his thoughts only with difficulty. |

| | Largely ignored for the next 60 years, her work is now praised for its literary merit as well as for its remarkable independence of mind and feeling. | | | In depicting objectively a woman's confused groping toward self-understanding and self-acceptance, Chopin seemed to threaten the mores of her time although she did not explicitly attack them. | | | Of Creole-Irish descent, she married (1870) a Louisiana businessman and lived with him in Natchitoches parish and New Orleans. |
