Read More »The great Polish composer Frederic Chopin was born on March 1 (Feb. 22, Old Style), 1810 near Warsaw. In the village where he lived as a child and where subsequently often spent his summers, Frederic became interested in folk songs and dances. This fascination made a great influence on his work. Chopin began studying music rather early. When he was only eight years old, he had already toured and had a lot of popularity in Warsaw. At this time, there were published his first works. In 1826 Frederick was enrolled int the Conservatory composition class. By the time he was already a virtuoso pianist. Chopin's successes in composition were so expressive that his teacher, the great Polish musician Elsner wrote about the ability of the student: "He is undoubtedly a musical genius." In the autumn of 1830 the composer went first to Vienna, and soon - in Paris. In the French capital he had to live the rest of his immigrant life, because the Polish uprising in 1831 forever undermined his hopes to return to Warsaw. This forced separation from the homeland was the tragedy of Chopin, and of course, had an impact on his work. In Paris, the composer quickly gained notoriety.

The few facts from his life we provide below. - As a child, Fryderyk used to play in the dark. Sitting down at the piano, he would put out the candles. This was the only way the boy could tune in the desired inspiration. This habit he carried through his life. Even playing at a party, Chopin asked to extinguish the light in the room. - Learning to play, the future virtuoso was very fond of some chords, but his children's fingers still could not take them. Then the boy decided to stretch their fingers and even came up with for this device. It deals quite severe pain. Despite this, the young pianist wore it constantly, without taking off even at night. - Workers who lived in the house of Chopin, was sure that the boy was crazy. At night, he broke and ran to the piano to play. Later Chopin complained on his health. The great composer suffered from epilepsy. The disease is accompanied by the dreams. Chopin saw dead relatives, and sometimes other spirits that threatened him. In one of his letters he wrote that he saw inside his piano some "damned creatures." - At age 10, Chopin wrote a march dedicated to the Grand Duke Constantine, which was published, but without the author's name, but several times performed by a military band. - Known to all work "Dog Waltz" also has been written by Chopin. His beloved George Sand had a dog with which the writer loved to play. Once the woman said that if she could, then she would compose a song about her four-legged friend. Desire sweetheart - the law. Chopin composed a wonderful waltz (opus number 64), which friends and students called "Waltz little dog." - The composer was very sensitive to the adventure associated with women. So, his engagement was canceled because of a trifle. Chopin was in love with the granddaughter of a famous musician and even thought to marry. But his feelings were tested. Once Frederick came to visit his beloved other. The girl invited a friend of the groom sit down before himself. Outraged, he could not bear such insults and changed his mind to marry.

He was republished by most record companies, his name is called airports, streets, heavenly bodies, music festivals and competitions. - Ten years Chopin was passionately fond of the French writer George Sand, who had an independent, strong character. Outrageous, a beautiful and talented woman loved to shock the audience (smoking pipe, wore men's clothes and changed lovers faster than handkerchiefs). They met at the Franz Liszt, Sand produced to the gentle, graceful Chopin repulsive image: "What a nasty little woman - this Sand! And is she the woman at all, I am inclined to doubt!" - He complained to his friend Liszt. Who would have thought that after 10 years, the break with "unpleasant woman" will bring Chopin to the grave. - Last year life of the composer, shaken with the break with George Sand, could not write music. Chopin letters to friends amazed with a despair: "To worry or to be happy- I am no longer able - quite ceased to feel anything - just vegetate and wait for it to hurry over."
