and arms on front. Polonaise in A-flat major, opus 63 music
score on reverse Frédéric François Chopin (March 1, 1810 –
October 17, 1849) was a Polish pianist and composer. He is widely
regarded as one of the most famous, influential and admired
composers for the piano. He was born Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin in
the village of Wola, Poland, to a Polish mother and French
expatriate father. Hailed as a child prodigy in his homeland,
Chopin left for Paris at the age of 20. In Paris, he made a career
as a performer and teacher as well as a composer, and adopted the
French variant of his name, "Frédéric-François". He had a turbulent
10-year relationship with the French writer George Sand from 1837
to 1847. Always in fragile health, he succumbed to pulmonary
tuberculosis[citation needed] at the age of 39. Chopin's
compositions, which are mainly for the piano, include his Funeral
March (part of his second piano sonata but composed long before the
other parts) and the twenty-four études and are widely considered
to be among the pinnacles of the piano repertoire. Although some of
his music is among the most technically demanding for the
instrument, Chopin's style emphasizes poetry, nuance, and
expressive depth rather than mere technical display. His works are
often cited as one of the mainstays of Romanticism in
nineteenth-century classical music. Zloty = Polish: Golden. See my
