Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin (also known by the French version of his name, Frédéric François Chopin—his father was French) was a Polish composer from the [[Romantic Era]] of [[Classical Music]]. Born in 1810 in Poland, he wrote almost exclusively for the piano, and his works are well-known for both their lyrical content and technical demands. When Russia invaded Poland, he left his home country, [[Tear Jerker|never to see it again]], but nevertheless kept his national spirit through his writing of some of the best-known [[mazurka]]s and [[polonaise]]s. He had an affair with writer [[George Sand]] at some point, before dying unfortunately young in 1849 of tuberculosis.
