Frederic Chopin

Frederic Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola on March 1, 1810 and died in Paris on October 17, 1849. He was the son of a French father, Mikolaj Chopin and a cultured Polish mother. He grew up in Warsaw and took childhood music lessons from Wojciech Zywny and Jozef Eisner. He then entered the Conservatory (1826-9). By this time, he had performed in local salons and composed several pieces. His public and critical popularity increased during the years 1829-30. In those years, he gave concerts in Vienna and Warsaw. He also felt bad about his despair over the political problems in Poland. This, combined with his musical desire, led him to move to Paris in 1831. There, he got help from Kalkbrenner and Pleyel. He was also well received by Liszt and Schumann. He was introduced into the highest society and quickly made a name for himself as a private teacher and salon performer. He gave few public concerts. Even so, his playing was loved by all people. And he published much of his best music at the same time in Paris, London, and Leipzig.
