This site introduces unknown composer Emanuel Bach (C. P. E. Bach). This English version was translated from Japanese one by ChatGPT.

Chopin

Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849) was a Polish composer and pianist, representing the Romantic era in music. He received his musical education in Warsaw and demonstrated remarkable talent from an early age. In 1830, due to the impact of the November Uprising in Poland, he left his homeland and spent most of his life in Paris. Chopin devoted himself exclusively to piano music and composed very few works in other forms.

His compositions are known for their delicate and poetic beauty, leaving masterpieces in many genres such as nocturnes, mazurkas, polonaises, études, and ballades. While incorporating elements of traditional Polish music, he developed his own refined style, characterized by emotionally rich expression embodying the Empfindsamer Stil (sensitive style).

As a performer, he preferred playing in salons over concert halls. Financially, he earned income through piano lessons, publishing his works, and salon performances. However, he suffered from health issues, particularly tuberculosis, leading to a short life. Even after his death, his music continues to be cherished by many and is still regarded as the pinnacle of piano music today.
