Frederic Chopin published his first composition at the age of seven. This early work, a Polonaise in C minor, marked the beginning of his illustrious career as a composer and pianist. By this young age, he had already shown remarkable talent and creativity in music.
This renowned pianist and professor at the Warsaw Conservatory gave Chopin valuable (although irregular) lessons in playing organ (music), and possibly piano. From 1823 to 1826, Chopin attended the Warsaw Lyceum, where his father was a professor. In the autumn of 1826, Chopin began studying music theory, figured bass, and composition with the composer Józef Elsner (b. 1769 in Silesia) at the Warsaw Conservatory.
Frederic's teacher was upset by the fact that Frederic did not write a polish opera, he was buried in Paris and had polish dirt sprinkled over his grave, his mother was his first piano teacher, at age 16 he attended Warsaw conservatory of music directed by composer Joseph Elsner, while Frederic lived in Austria there was a war between Russia and Russia and his family forbade him to come home for the reason that if he did he might get killed, Chopin is on the front of the 20 Zlotych bill which is a polish paper dollar bill, he emigrated to France in 1831, he was the subject of several movies such as a song to remember, imprproptu, and Chopin: desire to love, Frederic died of tuberculosis at age 39. and #10, is that he never even thought about writing music for other instruments except for the keyboard.
His mother and father! Then when it became obvious that the little Frederic had a talent for the piano, a professional tutor was sought. In 1816, at the age of 6, Chopin became a pupil of Adalbert Zywny, a Bohemian violinist who had come to Warsaw to play for the court orchestra. He was a friend of Chopin's father and gave lessons in his free time.
There were twenty-seven etudes written by Chopin. They are in two seperate collections and each contains twelve. This is a very challenging piece of work. The first set was published in 1833 and the second one was in 1837.
I'm not sure who inspired Chopin for his overall compositions, but I did read in a piano book from Michael Aaron Piano Course that composer John Field (1782-1837) wrote Nocturnes that inspired Chopin for that particular style.
Polish pianist Frederic Chopin composed his first works in 1817. He was only seven years of age at the time.

Well, Beethoven wrote for the piano orchestrally. Schubert wrote for the piano vocally. But possibly the first person to write for the piano truly pianistically was Frederick Chopin. There have been many others, of course, but Chopin was the first really great composer to understand, in your words, the "nature and potential of the piano as an expressive instrument".
