Most admirers of Chopin’s music begin to grow and be educated, already studying at a children's music school.
Which is not surprising, because the great opuses of musical genius are not included on the radio and are unlikely to be taught in music lessons in a regular school.
While the teacher is considering technical and creative tasks, the talent of a genius already penetrates the student’s heart. Even in a voluntary forced form.
Chopin did not have time to raise his own performers during his lifetime. He did not create his own school. But he managed to create works that, having heard once, will be remembered and never mixed up in the hearts of the audience.
The composer wrote his music mainly for the piano. But in shifting to other instruments with an orchestra, there is doubt that these masterpieces could come out of the pen of a person, they are so divine. Introducing 10 Chopin's most famous works - the great composer of all time.
10. Nocturne No. 2 - Spring Rhapsody
Opus 9 No. 2. The piece of music is written in in E flat major. Chopin wrote it specifically for piano performance. Years of writing: 1829-1834.
Dedicated to the brilliant pianist Marie Felicite Playel, as a tribute to the years of friendship and admiration for her talent. In this work, one of the three rhapsodies, the composer expresses reverence through musical dedication.
The tenderness of an awakening nature that unfolds after a chilling cold. When it is still chilly, but in my heart a foreboding for change is already burning. To the first sunshine, to warmth, all living things reach. The music sounds rapture and a passionate call to life.
9. Autumn Waltz
It can also be called a big waltz. Key - A flat majorwritten for piano in 1840.
Amazingly aristocratic waltz. Indescribable beauty of sound. Contemporaries wondered how to dance to such divine music.
What is this music about? Who feels the variety of colors of life, who is the heyday of feelings, who is the fall of life. A kaleidoscope of expressive and elegant images.
When a person listens to this music, he begins to hope and believe in the soul that the composer is happy. In fact, it is unknown. Chopin was a very reserved person.
8. Funeral March from Piano Sonata No. 2. Opus 35. Part 3
It is the third part of the sonata, all four of them were created. It is noteworthy that the composer himself did not give names to parts of this popular work.
The severity and sorrow of the third part led to the fact that it began to be performed during mourning events.
The heroic beginning of the sonata, energy, rebellion are replaced by the dimension and inevitability of the end. At the time of writing, the composer was only twenty-seven years old.
Contemporaries considered the appearance of such a power of work a bad omen. Frederic Chopin was the first person at whose funeral they performed his march, full of grim grandeur.
Currently, the march has appeared words that increase the bitterness of loss.
7. Garden of Eden (Tenderness)
Paradise music performed by angels. Carrying blissful peace, peace. A feeling of love that has no boundaries, and also fills the heart with a whirlwind of emotions.
Without a translator, explaining the meaning of life, and for someone - and the purpose of man.
From the work it blows inspiration, passion. His contemporaries spoke of the composer as a person who carefully concealed his personal experiences. And the music he wrote betrayed his personality. The vulnerable and the poetic.
6. Prelude in E Minor (No. 4)
Composition 28. No. 4. One of the famous cycle, in which there are 23 more works. The prelude has become a sketch for the current moment in the life of a famous composer.
A momentary look that entails a quick reaction to aggravated feelings. The work is short in time, and the composer's skill is especially pronounced here.
5. Prelude in A Major (No. 7)
A wonderful work. Small form. There are only 16 measures in the prelude. And they sound like human speech. Earnestly. Poetically. Slowly and majestically.
Interestingly, Frederic Chopin was the first composer to create a collection of small musical stories.
If you listen to the entire cycle of preludes in a row, then the lips suddenly involuntarily begin to stretch out in a smile. Since suddenly and unexpectedly, the listener will begin to recognize himself. But how could it be otherwise, because each work reveals its own character.
4. Waltz in C Sharp Minor (No. 7)
Seventh, because in the collected works he occupies this place. Fans of all times and peoples are inclined to believe that the story of the appearance of the work is associated with a passionate sense of love that the composer felt for Maria Vodzinsky.
The girl’s family clan did not allow young people to connect. Bright sadness is preserved in the music. Extraordinarily elegant, reverent, sophisticated.
A real waltz, like all Chopin waltzes, is not intended to accompany dancing couples. is he is a concert piece. A romantic story inspired talented contemporaries to create ballet, instrumental oranges.
3. Nocturne in C Sharp Minor, posthumous
Nocturne number 20 was published after the death of the composer. Why is such a fate in a musical masterpiece - is now unknown.
Contemporaries of the composer wrote in their memoirs that Chopin was extremely scrupulous when it came to the publication of his new creations. They had to be impeccable.
This work has been written and copied all my life. It sounds tenderness, sincerity of feelings, crystal overflow of love, joy for the future and the pain of loss. How could a nineteen-year-old boy put the whole gamut of feelings into one work - incomprehensibly.
The piano sounds delightful, arranged for violin and orchestra, it makes your breath stop while you play this brilliant piece.
2. Revolutionary Etude in C Minor
For the piano. Composition 10, No. 12. Chopin's etudes are always finished works included in concert programs. And not an exercise to develop the technical capabilities of a pianist.
A native of Poland, Chopin experienced all the events taking place in his homeland. Moreover, his relatives remained there, whose fate he knew nothing about.
The work is written during the Polish uprising, crushed by Russian troops. When writing the sketch, the composer himself believed that his "Music will help the native people achieve victory."
it the work is national in nature, because he has a polonaise rhythm. The gluttony of energy excites, makes every cell of the body vibrate. It makes you feel involved in the events of the world.
1. Polonaise in A Major
Composition 40. No. 1. Polonaise is a ballroom dance, with a warlike, chivalrous character. The music of this work is filled with emotions for the fate of the Polish people.
The composer seems to physically sense the suffering of people. To tears. To a cry frozen on her lips. According to music critics, polonaise is more revolutionary than study of the same name No. 12.
The pianist uses the entire keyboard to convey the solemnity, monumentality of the work, its jubilant character.
