He was one of the great masters of Romantic music.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChopin was born in Żelazowa Wola, a village in the Duchy of Warsaw. A renowned child-prodigy pianist and composer, he grew up in Warsaw and completed his musical education there. Following the Russian suppression of the Polish November 1830 Uprising, he settled in Paris as part of the Polish Great Emigration. He supported himself as a composer and piano teacher, giving few public performances. From 1837 to 1847 he carried on a relationship with the French woman writer George Sand. For most of his life, Chopin suffered from poor health; he died in Paris in 1849 at the age of 39.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll of Chopin's works involve the piano. They are technically demanding but emphasize nuance and expressive depth. Chopin invented the musical form known as the instrumental ballade and made major innovations to the piano sonata, mazurka, waltz, nocturne, polonaise, étude, impromptu and prélude.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Fryderyk+Chopin","playStationPath":"/stations/113310599/play","stationId":113310599,"bioPath":"/music/Fryderyk+Chopin/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Nikolai+Rimsky+Korsakov","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a45/a45a492de26b115d93bcab7d0907d269_md.jpg","artistName":"Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov","artistId":2963,"station_id":266476148},{"musicPath":"/music/Krystian+Zimerman","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/23c/23cca21399b6cde1f51fe87835013355_md.jpg","artistName":"Krystian Zimerman","artistId":471801,"station_id":401484657},{"musicPath":"/music/Franz+Liszt","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/533/533ad287ee86b2695041560cb0e2d4af_md.jpg","artistName":"Franz Liszt","artistId":2960,"station_id":113278386},{"musicPath":"/music/Vladimir+Ashkenazy","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/251/251cc503b8db0c26424f6bd8724013c6_md.jpg","artistName":"Vladimir Ashkenazy","artistId":491233,"station_id":401875899},{"musicPath":"/music/Vladimir+Horowitz","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/292/292636cbf51b71e40d21efe3b068e128_md.jpg","artistName":"Vladimir Horowitz","artistId":12387,"station_id":114482406},{"musicPath":"/music/Samuel+Barber","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/128/128f8ddae92e05e90bf35a82114c4cb5_md.jpg","artistName":"Samuel Barber","artistId":661,"station_id":302566701},{"musicPath":"/music/Francis+Poulenc","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f80/f80e9a1eea13c5125389ea8745174a1e_md.jpg","artistName":"Francis Poulenc","artistId":456181,"station_id":401255025},{"musicPath":"/music/Yann+Tiersen","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9e6/9e6b64bec24e487bd435fc3d888c3659_md.jpg","artistName":"Yann Tiersen","artistId":1621,"station_id":113263148},{"musicPath":"/music/Carl+Philipp+Emanuel+Bach","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5a9/5a9b0e41d430e998291ffe6537e55b9e_md.jpg","artistName":"Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach","artistId":75834,"station_id":266277580},{"musicPath":"/music/Christoph+Willibald+Gluck","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/24d/24dabd8b7473dc3c6806e57e283150e6_md.jpg","artistName":"Christoph Willibald Gluck","artistId":73748,"station_id":266009709},{"musicPath":"/music/Georg+Philipp+Telemann","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/020/0208cfba8625ef88db5e380db21b7cee_md.jpg","artistName":"Georg Philipp Telemann","artistId":56733,"station_id":266413774},{"musicPath":"/music/Johann+Pachelbel","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/da8/da8ae34e5f12ed9408e1db6da5eed986_md.jpg","artistName":"Johann Pachelbel","artistId":12812,"station_id":113346463},{"musicPath":"/music/Luigi+Boccherini","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/3ee/3eeb28ab499ee1cda6e7b3618f719b11_md.jpg","artistName":"Luigi Boccherini","artistId":59425,"station_id":261281905},{"musicPath":"/music/Enrique+Granados","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c10/c103fde03d7008e13a45bac8360e2b6b_md.jpg","artistName":"Enrique Granados","artistId":76337,"station_id":266508469},{"musicPath":"/music/Lang+Lang","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/6f2/6f2deb63ef9b8c913107be3878e28448_md.jpg","artistName":"Lang Lang","artistId":61426,"station_id":262260965},{"musicPath":"/music/Keith+Jarrett","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7b4/7b457c48afec6dacfe09344db029c64e_md.jpg","artistName":"Keith Jarrett","artistId":2642,"station_id":113372936},{"musicPath":"/music/Leos+Janacek","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/016/016c84205d59aef40b0ad938b3a38484_md.jpg","artistName":"Leos Janacek","artistId":139058,"station_id":322662544},{"musicPath":"/music/Max+Bruch","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/976/97646440b2aba763abbf6eacc59a0339_md.jpg","artistName":"Max Bruch","artistId":380327,"station_id":401255197}]}
