COMPOSER OF WEEK  

Frédéric Chopin

Frédéric Chopin was one of the greatest pianists of his day.

He is an important figure of the Romantic period in Music.

In the Romantic, expressing feelings through music was very important.

Chopin was born in a town just outside of Warsaw, Poland.

His mother introduced him to the piano; by the time he was six.

Chopin played extremely well and was starting to compose.

He gave his first concert at the age of eight.
