Frederic Chopin was one of the greatest composers of music for the piano. He wrote over two hundred musical compositions. They are still popular today.
Frederic Chopin was born in 1810 in Zelazowa-Wola, a village near Warsaw, Poland. His father had moved there from France. Chopin was to feel strong ties to Poland throughout his life. Many of his musical works have the spirit and rhythm (節(jié)奏) of Polish folk dances.
Chopin showed musical ability at an early age. He was giving public concerts and writing music by the time he was eight years old. The young Chopin often performed for members of the wealthy Polish nobility. He was a guest in their homes and was treated well by them.
Poland was a kingdom under Russian control. In 1831, Chopin left Poland to make a tour of other European countries. While he was away, the Poles tried to win freedom from Russia. Their rebellion failed, and the Kingdom of Poland was crushed. Chopin never returned to his homeland.
The piano fascinated Chopin. Believing that it could produce new and varied music, he challenged (對(duì)……有異議) many of the strict rules that were followed by earlier composers. Chopin created lively, moving music by using new musical patterns.
Chopin suffered from poor health. He became ill with tuberculosis (肺結(jié)核), a disease that affected his lungs. It caused his death in 1849, when he was only thirty-nine years old.
