Frederic Francois Chopin. | Born Feb. 22, 1908. Died October 17, 1849. | "The Ariel of the Pianoforte." Born at | Zelazowa, Wola, Poland, his father being a | Frenchman, and his mother a Polish lady. He was a | wild boy, full of fun, yet devoted to music. At nine | he played and improvised in public so well as to be | called "the new Mozart." He always composed, and | studied much of Bach. |
At nineteen he went to Paris, which he made his | home. He was welcomed by Schumann, Tausig and | Liszt, as a genius, and became very popular as a | teacher. He played very little in public, being shy | and nervous, but much for his circle of friends. | He was very patriotic and some of his pieces are | pictures of Polish life and characteristics. He was | not strong physically, and finally fell a prey to con- | sumption. He died in Paris. |
He was a wonderful player, and introduced a new style; he is said to be the greatest composer of purely | piano music. His "preludes" and "etudes," ma- | zurkas, polonaises, ballades, scherzos, waltzes, and | nocturnes are familiar compositions. |

From Prelude in E minor, Op. 28, No 4.
