Chopin plays an important role in the piano repertoire of any country. The reason is not only that Chopin's works are especially suitable for piano concerts, radio stations and TV stations, but also that Chopin's music is beautiful, poetic and lasting, expressive and tonal, and its form is always integrated with the content and develops continuously. However, all pianists who represent Chopin are not qualified to be called Chopin experts, although it is extremely difficult or even impossible to set absolutely accurate performance standards. On the one hand, with the development of musical expression methods, the improvement of piano sound and mechanical function, and the evolution of aesthetic concepts, everyone's understanding of Chopin's works is also developing. On the other hand, there are different views on the expression of his works in the world, which depends on the personality and reaction of the people who express them: some tend to be classical, some tend to be romantic, and some tend to be expressionist. In fact, all musical expressions are expressed by these different concepts to varying degrees.

In the field of art, we come to a conclusion: if we want to set some strict scientific rules and aesthetic rules regardless of the facts, we are doomed to fail if we don't try. Affirming this, we will find another way to understand Chopin, that is, to grasp some features of his music, which can be used as the key features to understand his works. Looking at Chopin's position in the music history of19th century, even a quick glance can help us to deepen our understanding of this issue. One of the most popular classifications is to regard Chopin as a romantic. This evaluation is accurate from the spirit of the times and the general environment at that time, but it is not accurate considering Chopin's style, because the trend of romanticism has obviously declined, and it is certainly wrong to confine Chopin to this narrow ideological scope.

Chopin's music, as an innovator, is ahead of the times, and the increasingly rich mode system comes from this, and its root comes from the most lasting and progressive tradition in the past: Chopin thinks Mozart is an unattainable "perfect" example, and Bach's "piano music with equal rhythm" is the object of his lifelong research.

As for the content of Chopin's works and his expression method, it can be said that it is the most concise form, which shows the strongest emotional essence, endless fantasy and crystal clarity; The slightest tremor and deepest meditation of the soul are often accompanied by passionate heroism and passionate revolutionary sentiment; Sometimes it is carefree and cheerful joy, sometimes it is sad, bitter and lost dreams; Beside the beautifully carved jewels, stands a majestic temple. Indeed, in Chopin's works, there is not a section without music, and there is not a clause that only seeks effect or shows off skills. Understanding his thoughts, paying attention to the evolution of his views, the evidence left by his students and traditions at that time, and the examples of outstanding Chopin performers are of great help to artists interested in understanding his immortal works. Only by understanding Chopin's works in the most comprehensive way can we say that they are appropriate and faithful, at least there will be no wrong views.

Let's compare the Polish dance music played by three pianists. Chopin, a famous Polish pianist and composer, 183 1 has been living in Paris since the failure of the Warsaw Uprising. One day, three guests came to the house of Udinsky, a Polish lady in Paris. They were all famous musicians at that time, and they were also frequent visitors to Tynsky's house. They are Schiller in Germany, Liszt in Hungary and Chopin in Poland. When musicians meet, the topic naturally revolves around the music content and gradually talks about their views on national music. At this time, there were differences between them. It turns out that Shiller is a composer who advocates "absolute music", and he does not admit that music has national consciousness; Liszt is the originator of modern title music. He admits that any music must have its content. Chopin thinks that his music is absolutely national music. The three men argued endlessly on this issue. So Tynsky came out to speak. She said: "Chopin has just finished writing a Polish dance music, and the debate is hard to come to a conclusion. Why don't we all play on the piano to confirm whether there is such a thing as national consciousness in music? " Everyone agrees with her suggestion.

So, first of all, Shearer sat in front of the piano, and he played Polish dance music with the most skillful skills. Because his theory is that if music has content, it will destroy the perfect artistic conception of music, so his performance can really surprise his accuracy and skills, but other than that, there is only a sense of loss and emptiness.

Liszt then sat down at the piano. He knew that Chopin's Polish Dance was written for Poland carved up by the enemy, and Liszt felt sympathy and indignation. So, in his music, people heard gunshots and flames, fights and galloping horses. After the battle, the beaten Polish women and children were crying, and finally the desperate cries and the blood of angry patriots were boiling. At the end of the song, Shearer's face was moved nervously by the unfortunate music. Tynsky, Liszt and Chopin all shed tears.

Finally, Chopin sat down at the piano. He sat in silence for a long time. Because he felt that Liszt's interpretation of this dance music was wrong, he had to give it a correct performance himself. When his heart is all in the field of music. He muttered softly, "Poland is not dead yet!" " Then, music poured out of the piano, diffused and spread. What happened here is not the terrible and reprehensible fate of Poland, nor is it war and death. What appears here is the sunshine in Poland, and the villages and sheep in Poland are in the sunshine; The fields are full of lush flowers. Then, the mountains and rivers in Poland, the happy villagers, seem to dance in the festival and the children are playing. ...
