	Fryderyk Chopin: Poet of the Piano
		Fryderyk Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola, a village six miles from Warsaw, Poland on February 22, 1810 as the son of a French father and a Polish mother.
		Chopin also was a composer in the smaller forms, for only two piano concertos and three of his four sonatas are viable instrumental cycles, and his longer compositions in the free forms (polonaises, scherzos, ballades, fantasias, etc.) consist of a skillful linking together of ideas proper to the smaller forms.
		Chopin's "modal" effects are not derived from deliberate and consistent use of the lowered second and seventh or sharpened fourth degree of the scale but from the ambiguity between the diatonic and altered forms of these scale degrees.

		A Chopin Mazurka, then, might be understood less as a dance piece than as a "song about dancing." And the Nocturnes, while profoundly varied in their tone, all remain true to the genre's provenance in night-time serenades.
		Breathing life into Chopin's musical characters are the textural transformations that mark their progress through his narratives.
		Like the mature works of Mozart in the 1780s, with their masterful synthesis of the Classical style, Chopin's piano works are truly "of their time." They stand as testaments to the era's quest for uninhibited subjectivity, its reverence for unbridled nature, and its passion for advancing musical technology.

		Chopin is admired above all for his great originality in exploiting the piano.
