Frederic Chopin

While Chopin was not a composer of Bel Canto, his works were greatly inspired by the genre. Chopin borrowed from the ornamentation and florid style that was practiced throughout the Bel Canto repertory resulting in virtuosic passages that embellish his melodies.

oh sir she smiled... but who passed without much the same smile

The powerful movie was Magnificent Obsession, a 1954 film directed by Douglas Sirk and starring Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson. and Chopin's music helped to make it so memorable.

The analogy is time and patience. In order to visit family, they had to wait for the fruits/flowers to ripen/bloom.

Frédéric Chopin composed the Minute Waltz.

Frédéric Chopin is famous for his piano compositions. He wrote by far the most piano compositions as a composer. His etudes and preludes are very famous and acclaimed. He also wrote mazurkas, valses, sonatas, polonaises, nocturnes, scherzos and so forth.

His most famous pieces are the revolutionary etude (op. 10 no. 12), ballade in g minor (op. 23) and nocturne posthume. His scherzos were very innovative, just like his preludes and etudes. (He was the first to compose a etude which was musically more demanding than technically demanding. His preludes are famous because they are all wonderful separate pieces, unlike other preludes (before Chopin) which needed be played before ('pre') another piece (for instance preludes and fugas by Bach)

Chopin never wrote any symphonies

Chopin wrote secular music. All of it is for or at least involves his instrument, the piano. He wrote no sacred music at all.

Fantaise Impromptue

Frederic Chopin played the piano.

true

My guess is that the question is in reference to Chopin's so-called "Heroic" Polonaise - in A-flat, Op. 53. The melody was adapted by Buddy Kaye and Ted Mossman for the hit song "Till the End of Time," by Perry Como, Doris Day, and others. It was Como's first #1 hit - released in the summer of 1945.

Chopin Impromptu #4 (Fantasie Impromptu) is by far the hardest one. That song is related to Beethoven Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement. Other than Fantasie Impromptu, the most difficult is Chopin Impromptu #3. #1 is the easiest. Impromptu #2 is more beautiful than #1/#3. Fantasie Impromptu is also by far the most beautiful one. Impromptu #3 is slightly more beautiful than Impromptu #1. No offense to Impromptu #1.

Chopin's Prelude (E-Minor) is his 4th Prelude, and also called "suffocation" by a 19th century composer. It was written for the piano (piano solo). It has since been transcribed into orchestral pieces, full choir pieces, and etc.

He is most known for his Nocturnes, which is also his most prized possession. This is because Chopin realised that his Nocturnes are the pieces that allows him to dwell in his imagination and are the most romantic of all his pieces.

Chopin is credited with creating the modern piano style.

Chopin-Etude no. 3 in E major, Op. 10 no. 3, "Tristesse"

Chopin disliked to associate his works with the works of beethoven. This is also the reason why he hated fantasie impromtu. Because people were saying that it sounds like the songs written by Beethoven. e composed that song but regretted it.

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.

His full Polish name is Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin. Fryderyk is basically Fryh-deh-RYK, Franciszek is pronounced Fran-TCHY-shek, and finally, Chopin is pronounced Cho-PIN in Polish.

I play it! It's very difficult. The right hand should be practiced very, very slowly. It takes a lot of time and effort to mature.
