		His first professional piano lessons, given to him by the violinist Wojciech Żywny lasted from 1816 to 1822, when the teacher was no longer able to give any more help to the pupil whose skills surpassed his own.
		Zywny taught the boy the work of classical composers Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, but with an ear open and sympathetic to the individualism infiltrating the music of a dawning Romantic Period.
		Wojciech Zywny's tutelage influenced the young Chopin perhaps immeasurably, as Chopin's compositions were romantically expressive and emotional, yet defined by a purity derived from the Classical Period before him.

		From his earliest years Chopin showed a precocious gift for music-he was playing duets with his elder sister Ludwika, before he had any formal training-and also for drawing caricatures, writing verses and, with his sisters, devising comedies which they performed to celebrate family anniversaries.
		A violinist by training, composer and occasional conductor, Zywny channeled Chopin's outstanding natural ability, both physical and interpretative, into the German classical repertoire-Bach, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven-as well as guiding him through pieces by popular contemporary composers such as Hummel, an early influence on Chopin's own compositions, and the great virtuoso Kalkbrenner.
		In 1821 Chopin wrote a farewell Polonaise for Zywny, who admitted that there was nothing more he could teach the boy, and soon began taking composition lessons from Josef Elsner, director of the new Warsaw Conservatoire.
