My favorite classical composer, Frederic Chopin. Born in Poland to a musical family, Chopin was a child-prodigy, performing his first concert at age 7. However, for the Polish pianist, public performances became a rarity with just 30 or so performances by the time he passed away at age 39. He is considered as one of the great composers of Romanticism. He had a love for music, and for Poland. He was very sick with Tuberculosis for much of his adult life, but still managed to compose some of the world's most beautiful music. Some of my favorites of his include:
Nocturne Op.55 No.1
Scherzo No.2 in B flat minor, Op.31
24 Preludes, Op. 28: No.13 in F sharp major
and
Nocturne in C minor
Check him out!
Good exploration on a variety of topics.
