Considered one of the masters of romantic music, Chopin composed both challenging and subjective pieces that bought new life to the classical genre. Born in 1810 to a Polish mother and French father, Chopin was considered a child piano prodigy and spent his early life in Poland with preliminary training at the Warsaw Conservatory. Chopin spent most of his adult life in France before passing away from tuberculosis in 1949.
