Frederic Chopin is one of the most influential composers of all time and he is my favorite piano composer too.
He confronted many tragedies in his life as well as many triumphs. From the age of six, he composed influential piano pieces, traveled across Europe and performed for people everywhere until his death on October 17, 1849.
Most of Chopin’s music was influenced by his emotions and experiences. Chopin’s music affected later composers who adopted his music and styles to create their own. We can still feel his influence today.
You can find some of my recordings of his piano pieces in Bunny Music Hall.
I will continue to write more about his life, triumphs, tragedies, and impacts. Stay tuned!
