The master composer of the 19th century.
Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin was born on 1st March 1810 in the village of Zelazowa-Wola, Poland. Chopin’s musical talent became apparent extremely early on, and he was compared with the childhood genius Mozart. Already at the age of 7, Fryderyk was the author of two polonaises (in G minor and B flat major). And very soon “little Chopin” became a major attraction in aristocratic circles, playing to counts, lords and princes.
In 1830, there was an uprising in Poland against Russian domination. This was the beginning of a Russo-Polish war. Eventually, the uprising collapsed and the Russians captured Warsaw. During the uprising, Chopin was abroad in Vienna. On hearing about the war, Chopin wrote in his diary, "The enemy is in the house… Oh, God, do you exist?” Chopin never returned to Poland.
