Frederic Chopin

A kindred soul from the motherland

  Chopin, Frederic  b. February 22, 1810  d. October 17, 1849

Born in Zelazowa Wola near Warsaw, Poland in 1810. His father was French, his mother
Polish. Chopin studied the piano at the Warsaw Conservatory. He played his first public
concert at the age of 7, and published first compositions at 15.  In 1838 Chopin began to suffer from tuberculosis. He died in Paris in 1849 at the age of just 39. I can't say enough about him, listen to the nocturnes and you will understand. (plus, he's Polish!)
