Introduction of Chopin's representative works
Chopin, a Polish composer, is half French. His father moved from France to Warsaw to teach French to aristocratic children. Chopin showed his musical talent as a child and studied at the newly established Warsaw Conservatory of Music. At school, he fell in love with the young singer constance Gratkovska. At the age of nineteen, he wrote a piano concerto in F minor. It is said that this young girl inspired Chopin's creation. 183 1 In September, Chopin came to Paris, and he was connected with the artistic life of this city for the rest of his life. Chopin kept in touch with many outstanding artists in the salon, such as musicians Liszt and Berlioz, writers Hugo, Balzac and George? Sang, Heine, painter Delacroix. Chopin met Aurora with "a pair of melancholy eyes" through Liszt? Mrs. Du Wangde, a world-famous novelist george sand. Chopin's first impression of her was not good, but she was soon conquered by her charm. Under the control of a passion he had never experienced before, his musical imagination reached a high degree of excitement. For the next eight years, Chopin spent every summer in his villa in george sand. These years are also the most prosperous period of Chopin's creation.

However, his health gradually deteriorated and his relationship with george sand broke down. In his last letter, he was full of loneliness and despair. 1848 performed in England and died a few months after returning to Paris at the age of 39. His funeral was held in Mozart's requiem and his own funeral March. He was buried in Lachez cemetery, and a friend scattered Polish soil on his grave.

Chopin is one of the most original artists in the Romantic era. His style is entirely his own, and he will never confuse his own style with others'.

Among the first-class artists, Chopin is the only master who concentrates his creative life on the piano. From the beginning, his imagination was dedicated to the keyboard, and he created a world in this narrow structure. His genius even turned the limitations of the piano into a source of beauty. Of course, the main limitation of the piano is that it can't play persistent notes of any length, but Chopin skillfully overcame these limitations. He contributed as much to the formation of modern piano style as any musician.

Chopin used pedals to keep the chords far apart in the bass continuous, forming a charming melody group. He told the students, "Every note must be sung." In his music, exquisite decorations-vibrato, decorative sounds, and light transitional sentences-magically extend those tones. All this is always arranged smoothly, and the music is almost like playing it yourself.

In Chopin's body, his mother's blood is dominant. He was the first great composer who strongly highlighted the Slavic national factors in his music. Since then, Slavic national factors have entered the mainstream of European music. In Chopin's Bolognez in War Atmosphere, the blood of the Polish nation is boiling strongly, and their vigorous, brave and arched melody is like a curved steel bar. Knight-like Mazzuca is shining with a fiery and brilliant gesture; Sweet tenderness and witty flirting run through the waltz. Besides these spiritual dance forms, Chopin also created fantasia, scherzo, narrative, impromptu, prelude and sonata. His feelings are sometimes mysterious like a devil, and sometimes charming like a water demon, but they are always warm and kind. Spirituality, through his lyricism, has become a universal language, celebrating the greatest victory in his brilliant etudes, and those nocturnes are his dreams in loneliness, and he confides a person's most sincere desire to the quiet night. Although he is a lucky darling on the surface, in fact, like many romantic people of his contemporaries, he is also a man who has suffered a lot in life.
