He gained an haes mainteened renoun warldwide as a leadin muisicker o his era, that their "poetic genius wis based on a professional technique that wis withoot equal in his generation."<ref>Rosen (1995), p. 284.</ref> Chopin wis born in whit wis than the [[Duchy o Warsaw]] an growed up in [[Warsaw]], whilk in 1815 becam pairt o [[Congress Poland]]. A [[bairn prodigy]], he completit his muisical educaton an componed his earlier warks in Warsaw afore leavin Poland at the age o 20, less nor a month afore the ootbreak o the [[November Uprisin|November 1830 Uprisin]].

At 21 he sattelt in Pairis. Thareefter, durin the last 18 years o his life, he gied only 30 public performances, preferrin the mair intimate atmosphere o the [[Salon (gatherin)|salon]]. He supportit hissel bi sellin his compositions an bi teachin the pianae, that he wis in heich demand for.

Efter a failed engagement tae [[Maria Wodzińska]] frae 1836 tae 1837, he mainteened an aften tribbelt relationship wi the French scriever [[George Sand]]. A cutty an unhappy veesit tae [[Majorca]] wi Sand in 1838–39 wis ane o his maist productive periods o composition. In his hinner years, he wis gien uphaud financially bi his admirer [[Jane Stirling]], that atour arranged for him tae visit [[Scotland]] in 1848.

Aw o Chopin's compositions involves the pianae. Maist are for solo pianae, tho atour he wrate twa [[pianae concerto]]s, a few [[chaumer muisic|chaumer pieces]], an a wheen [[Pols sangs (Chopin)|sangs tae Pols lyrics]]. His keybuird style is gey individual an aften technically demandin; his ain performances wis notit for their nuance an sensitivity. Chopin inventit the concept o the [[ballade (clessical muisic)#Instrumental ballades|instrumental ballade]]. His major pianae warks an aa includes [[mazurka]]s, [[waltz]]es, [[nocturne]]s, [[polonaise]]s, [[étude]]s, [[impromptu]]s, [[scherzo]]s, [[prelude (muisic)|preludes]] an [[sonata]]s, some set furth only efter his deith.

Bach]], [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]] an [[Franz Schubert|Schubert]], the muisic o aw them that he admired, as weel as the Pairis salons whaur he wis aft-times a guest. His innovations in style, [[muisical form]], an [[harmony]], an his association o muisic wi [[naitionalism]], wis influential oot-throu an efter the late-[[romanticism|Romantic]] period.
