What types of music did Chopin play?
There were not as many genres of music in Chopin's time as there is today, or should I say that there weren't many styles of music by today's methods of classification. Such styles as chamberand church music would not be classified under the genre of 'classical' music as they are today, rather they would have been as different to people of the time as rock and rap music are to us (that is to say, people of the twenty-first century).
Since every piece of music that Chopin ever composed had a piano part, we can assume that the piano was his favourite instrument. Therefore, the music that he enjoyed would have to be in some way related to the piano, so the piano concerto or the piano sonata may well have been his preferred type of music.

What are 3 adjectives for Frederic Chopin as a person?
Have you ever heard of the Enneagram personality system? Well, according to the enneagram, Chopin is a a Type 4 with a wing of 3. I think using this information, it's made much easier to pinpoint his personality.
Basically, Chopin was very inwardly emotional, which is reflected in his music, which is known for its deep emotion and beauty. He was reserved and shy, and very much loved things of high class. It is widely known that he loved dressing fancy and being in fashion. He most likely had a negative opinion of himself and low self-esteem, especially when he contracted tuberculosis in his late teens. He was a very sensitive man, being in tune with his emotions. He was also quite critical of the other artists in his time, though he would never be so to their faces. The only artists that he always adored and looked up to were Mozart and Bach.
Anyway, I would suggest reading the Enneagram type four explanation. Though we can't expect Chopin fits every detail of the personality type, he has been typed as a 4 with a 3 wing and fits most of the explanations.
