LWD Composer of the Month ~ Chopin

Did you join me in listening to our January “composer of the month” – Vivaldi? I often listened to the playlist I created as I was working on my computer. It was quite lovely. For February I’ve selected Chopin for our listening pleasure.

Chopin

Frédéric Chopin was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic period. He was born in 1810 and grew up in Warsaw. At the age of 21 he settled in Paris and lived there until his death in 1849 at the age of 39.

Over 230 of his compositions remain, all of which involve the piano.

I’m really looking forward to having a nice little collection of classical music on vinyl by the end of this year. Here is the Chopin album I purchased in case you’d like to create a collection, as well:

If you don’t have Spotify, here is a lovely collection of 4 hours worth of Chopin’s music:
