Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849) was a Polish composer and piano virtuoso whose works helped define the Romantic era. Renowned for his poetic intimacy, nuanced rubato, and refined harmonic language, Chopin wrote almost exclusively for the piano, elevating forms such as the nocturne, mazurka, waltz, prelude, étude, ballade, scherzo, and polonaise. Splitting his life between Poland and Paris, he distilled dance rhythms and national idioms into highly personal statements of lyricism and drama. His music—by turns tender, melancholic, and brilliant—remains central to pianistic art and continues to influence composers and performers worldwide.
