Frederic Francois Chopin (1810–1849) - polish composer, pianist, teacher, one of the geniuses of musical romanticism.

Chopin is the author of many works for piano, 3 sonatas, 4 ballads, 4 scherzo, sketches, impromptu, nocturnes ...
Contemporaries were attracted to the composer by his appearance, his manner of communication:
Chopin introduced into society the evenness of the mood of people who are not bothered by concerns, who do not know the words “boredom,” and are not attached to any interests.

Polonaise is a national Polish genre. Many composers turned to him: Mozart, Bach, Glinka, Wieniawski, Oginsky. The origin of the polonaise is associated with the aristocratic milieu - this is an old ceremonial procession of the Polish nobility. Chopin wrote the first polonaises as a child, throughout his creative life he returned to this genre. Chopin's polonaises can be divided into 2 groups: more traditional dance processions - and tragic, heroic and dramatic. Some of the latter were born as a response to events in Poland.
