The Polish composer Frdric Chopin is widely revered today as one of the foremost figures of the Romantic period. Although he wrote almost exclusively for the piano, Chopin has maintained worldwide renown as a leading musician of his era, celebrated for his melodic mastery and fastidious craftsmanship. Influenced by Polish folk music, the classical tradition of J. S. Bach and Mozart, as well as the atmosphere of the Paris salons of which he was a frequent guest, Chopin produced concerti, mazurkas, waltzes, nocturnes, polonaises, tudes, scherzos and preludes. His innovations in style, harmony and musical form would have a lasting influence on the late Romantic period.

One of the most celebrated composers of the Romantic period Fryderyk Chopin - photo 12

One of the most celebrated composers of the Romantic period, Fryderyk Chopin was born in elazowa Wola, a village in modern-day Poland. A tutor for children of the Polish aristocracy, his father, Nicolas Chopin, was a Frenchman from Lorraine, who had immigrated to Poland in 1787 at the age of sixteen. In 1806 he had married Justyna Krzyanowska, a poor relative of the Skarbeks, one of the families for whom he worked as a tutor. Fryderyk was the second of four children, including an elder sister, Ludwika and two younger sisters, Izabela and Emilia.

Chopins father was devoted to his adopted homeland and insisted on the use of the Polish language in the household. All the family were interested in artistic pursuits. The father played the flute and violin; the mother played the piano and gave lessons to boys in the boarding house that the Chopins kept. From his infancy, Chopin was reported to have been peculiarly moved when listening to his mother or sister playing the piano. By the age of six he was already trying to reproduce what he heard or to create new tunes. The following year he started piano lessons with Wojciech Zywny, a 61-year-old all-around musician with an astute sense of values. In short time Zywnys simple instruction in piano playing was lacking in challenge, as Chopin developed for himself an original approach to the piano, unhindered by academic rules and formal discipline. He was soon regarded as a child prodigy.

By the age of seven Fryderyk was giving public concerts and in 1817 he composed two polonaises in G minor and B-flat major. His next work, a Polonaise in A-flat major composed in 1821 and dedicated to Zywny, is now held as his earliest surviving manuscript. During this period, Fryderyk was occasionally invited to the Belweder Palace as a playmate to the son of the ruler of Russian Poland, Grand Duke Constantine. There he played the piano and even composed a march for the Duke.

When he was sixteen, Fryderyks family enrolled him at the newly formed Warsaw Conservatory of Music, directed by the Polish composer Joseph Elsner, with whom he had recently studied musical theory. Insisting on a traditional training, Elsner was also a romantically inclined composer, who allowed Chopins individual imagination to flourish and not be checked by academic demands. At the Warsaw Conservatory, he was put through a solid course of instruction in harmony and composition, while in piano playing he was allowed to develop a high degree of individuality. Throughout this formative period, he continued to compose and to give recitals in concerts and salons in Warsaw.

Chopin spent his holidays away from the city, particularly favouring Szafarnia, a village in north-central Poland, where he was a guest of Dominik Dziewanowski, the father of a schoolmate. It was here for the first time that he encountered Polish rural folk music, storing impressions that would later give an unmistakable national colouring to his work. His literary merits were demonstrated by his letters home, to which he gave the title The Szafarnia Courier; they were written in a witty and lively Polish, parodying local newspapers and providing much amusement for his family.
