2. Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin was born in 22
February or 1 March 1810 and he died in
17 October 1849. Polish composer, virtuoso
pianist, and music teacher of French–Polish
parentage. He was one of the great masters
of Romantic music and has been called
"the poet of
the piano".
3. Frederic Chopin was born while his father was
accompanying on the violin.
Wojciech Żywny was his first proffessional piano
teacher
4. Here’s the B-dur Polonez of Frederic
Chopin from 1817, when Chopin was 7
years old
5. By the age of seven, he had already composed
two polonaises, and had begun to give
concerts. It is unprecedented that a child this
young could be so gifted at the piano.
6. Chopin also had the opportunity to appear
before the the prince Constantine, so it's easy
to guess his childhood wasn't resembled the
life that you can measure the average kid.
However, the genius requires special
treatment, and therefore not very surprising
that the extraordinary abilities written in
Chopin's Warsaw Diary, when he was just
eight years.

8. The main secret of
Chopin’s genius is that he
was putting the whole
heart in what he was
playing - The rules of
Chopin's play consisted in
liberation from the
rigidity and tension arms.
He used to say: „I have to
sing by my fingers”.
9. However Chopin’s approach to the school
wasn’t very serious. For one thing it was
caused by the educational system. Chopin
finished the high school, but he didn’t write
the Bacallalaureate.
10. He said: It would be the nonsense to sit here 6
hours a day [...], when the meantime there is
so much more interesting things you can
learn. I listen Brodzinski, Bentkowski and
others, everything with any relationship with
music.”
11. While his studing years in University of Arts in
Warsaw he used to listen classical music, play
it, work at various sonats and wariations.
12. You can say without any exaggeration that
university studies formed artistic personality
of Chopin, but without any doubt he would
have been able to handle educating himself in
the direction of music and composition,
putting in it all his heart.
