11 Quotes By Frédéric Chopin
French - Polish composer and prodigy pianist Frédéric Chopin was a leading musician of the 18th century. He is best known for his solo piano compositions that had a variety of notes, yet remained simple. Though he attended piano lessons, music came to him naturally. He gave several performances and travelled through Europe. He relocated to Paris after the Warsaw Uprising and never returned to Poland thereafter. He really felt sad to leave the country of his birth, and as he had no one to share his sorrow with, he vented his feelings through his piano.
