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.

Chopin composed about 23 according to wikipedia, but some might have been lost, so 23 is probably the minimum

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.

kate Chopin had used a different kind of foreshadowing. following through the whole story, one might have inferred that desiree was the reason of the baby's color. but in the end, what one has forshadowed had eventually turned into dismay..

frederic chopin worked with his father

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.

yes

Fredrick Chopin's style period was The Romantic Era.

Chopin had a long relationship with the novelist George Sand, but never married. * Chopin had a crush on Gladowska, but she didn't know until after he got over her. She said that he would not have made a good husband anyway. * Chopin was engaged to Maria Wodzinska for a year, but her parents didn't think it as a suitable match so they broke the marriage up! * The most famous of his lovers is George Sand, a popular writter. * Apparantly he loved Delfina Potocka, but there is no evidence of this ever happening. I hope this was some use, because it's so hard trying to find the truth on the web. Why don't they just put everything you want to know on one page?

Dr Dre I believe

The most important conflict in this story is the choice between love and passion and a safe future (money). This is a problem many women in the 1800s were faced with, as money decided where one stood in society. In this particular story, Nathalie is faced with the decision between rich, but unattractive Brantain, and handsome Harvy, with whom she enjoys an intimate relationship. At the end of the story, Nathalie realizes that it is impossible to have both passion and wealth in her situation, and after doing so chooses Brantain to guarantee her future.

Yes

Mr. Chopin was a Polish composer whose givens names, Frédéric François, are markedly French, probably owing to the fact his father was French. I am only guessing that his Polish mother lost the battle in naming him.

yes he did , because he died in Paris.

In the customary French, it is "Fray day REEK Show PAN," but try not to actually say the n at the end.

The family of frederic Chopin is unknown. the only thing that I know is the he has a french dad and a polish mom. he also had a lover called George sand who used this name because she wanted to be a boy but her original name is Aurore Dudevant and she was a famous writer.

The plot of Regret by Kate Chopin is about an old, childless woman who agrees to keep her neighbor's children for two weeks. During the two weeks, the woman bonds with the children.

An academic would say that the 'gay' label is, in this case, anachronistic. Those who study the history of sexuality have noted that in some cultures, such as Ancient Greece, homosexual activity was rather common. Even in that culture, there were some who preferred the same sex to the opposite sex, and vice-versa. They have theorized that, therefore, sexual orientation is something of a social construct. It's a complicated issue, but academics tend to address sexuality before the beginning of the 'homosexual' revolution of the late 19th century in terms of the Kinsey Scale, with 0 representing 'pure' heterosexuality, and 6 representing 'pure' homosexuality. Logically, in a society where homosexuality is extremely suppressed, those who engage in homosexual acts would often be those closer to 6 on the Kinsey scale (those who have no other choice). But the academics would tell you that these people would probably not think of themselves as 'homosexual', or whatever word they might have used in its place.

The term 'homosexual' was not invented until after Chopin's death, incidentally by a man named Karl-Maria Kertbeny, who had met George Sand in Paris (and perhaps Chopin as well, though we have no evidence of it) during the final days of their relationship. Kertbeny was an advocate for the fair and humane treatment of what he called homosexual people, though his ideas were not truly embraced in a widespread manner until a century later, beginning with the Civil Rights revolution in the U.S. Sometimes the word 'pederast' would be used instead of 'homosexual'. Technically pederasty refers to sexual relationships between men and adolescent boys, but before the late 19th Century it was commonly used in reference to homosexual relations between adult men.

Chopin's place on the Kinsey Scale is difficult to judge, considering the intense social stigma attached to homosexuality during his age. He lived in Paris, perhaps the most liberal place in Europe during those years, but even there, homosexual activity had consequences. One of Chopin's friends, the Marquis Astolphe de Custine--someone who certainly thought of himself as 'pederast' or the like--was a constant reminder to Chopin of these consequences, whatever his own inclinations. Custine had the money and social station to weather the scandal of his 'outing', but Chopin no doubt was privy to the reportedly cruel things said when Custine was not in earshot. Chopin himself was terrified of scandal, and while he outwardly lacked piety, he was rumored to be haunted by frightful visions inspired by his Catholic upbringing in Poland. (One can see hints of this in his letters and in his scrapbook entries, and George Sand talks about it as well.)

None of the best Chopin biographies address this issue very thoroughly or honestly. Those who give credence to the idea that he might have been more attracted to men than to women are generally also those who give credence to any idea about Chopin's life that has a touch of scandal in it. And so, the issue is not addressed appropriately at all in the academic literature that I am aware of, with the exception of Jeffrey Kallberg's work (and even Kallberg does not address the issue of Chopin's sexual orientation at all; he only addresses many of the overlooked and marginalized details tangential to the issue).

If I had to guess, I would say that Chopin was a 5 or a 6 on the Kinsey Scale, and that George Sand was somewhere between 2-4. She was Chopin's only significant relationship, and the letters show that Chopin approached the relationship with a certain amount of anxiety, and they also show that his relationship with Sand was almost entirely celibate. He was quite happy with her during the nine years they were together, but Sand hinted in her autobiography that they had an open relationship, and there is certainly room to interpret that information to be a clue that she knew he preferred men and that she was content to be a 19th Century 'beard' of sorts. But that is interpretation. Chopin had two female love interests before George Sand, and there are many details concerning both of these love interests that call into question whether Chopin was truly invested in them, or whether he was invested in the expectation that he should marry, as all upstanding men did. (Again, Chopin was very concerned with being upstanding.)

In conclusion, the question is very much open to discussion. If you really want to know, I would suggest reading Chopin's letters, particularly those to Tytus Woyciechowski, and deciding for yourself. Many biographers explain these letters away by saying that it was common for men to address each other in this fashion during Chopin's time in Poland, but notably, none of them have ever quoted any examples, either from Chopin's letters to other men, or from other contemporary correspondence. While Chopin did address a few of his other close friends in a similar manner, the degree of difference is substantial.

All these people were famous composers. Their names also happen to have six letters.
