Fryderyk François Chopin born (March 1, 1810 - October 17, 1849), Polish composer and pianist virtuoso of the Romantic era, who composed mainly for solo piano. He retained a worldwide reputation as the leading musician of his era, whose "poetic genius was based on a professional technique that was unmatched by his generation."

Chopin was born in Żelazowa Wola in the Duchy of Warsaw, and grew up in Warsaw, which in 1815 became part of the Congress Kingdom. As a prodigy, he completed his musical education and composed his earlier works in Warsaw before leaving Poland at the age of 20, less than a month before the outbreak of the November Uprising in 1830. At 21, he settled in Paris. Then - in the last 18 years of his life - he only gave 30 public appearances, preferring the more intimate atmosphere of the lounge. He made a living by selling his compositions and giving piano lessons, for which he was in great demand. Chopin befriended Franz Liszt and was admired by many contemporary musicians, including Robert Schumann.

After an unsuccessful engagement with Maria Wodzińska in the years 1836-1837, he often maintained an uneasy relationship with the French writer Amantine Dupin (known under the pseudonym George Sand). George Sand's brief and unhappy visit to Mallorca in 1838–39 was one of his most productive periods in his career. In recent years, he was financially supported by his admirer Jane Stirling, who also arranged for him to visit Scotland in 1848. Chopin was in poor health most of his life. He died in Paris in 1849. At the age of 39, probably of pericarditis exacerbated by tuberculosis.
