Frédéric François Chopin (1810-1849) was a Polish composer and musician of the Romantic era, who is known and celebrated especially for his marvelous compositions for solo piano. A sickly young man, Chopin devoted his life to study of music, and it wasn't long before people noticed his prodigious genius. Ever since his sad and untimely death (perhaps of tuberculosis) Chopin's name has been lauded, and, as you will hear from these 24 pieces, he was one of the greatest piano composers the world has ever seen.
