Biography

The poet of the piano, Chopin wrote almost exclusively for his instrument and transformed it utterly. His output encompasses 21 nocturnes, 27 etudes, 24 preludes, 4 ballades, 4 scherzos, 3 sonatas, 2 piano concertos, and dozens of mazurkas, polonaises, waltzes, and impromptus. His harmonic language was the most advanced of his era, his melodic gift inexhaustible, and his understanding of the piano's unique capabilities without equal. He spent most of his adult life in Paris, taught privately, and performed rarely.
