Who is Chopin in Jay Chou's Chopin in November?

Chopin, Frederic Fran? ois (formerly Fryderyk Franciszek) Chopin, Frederic Fran? ois (18 10- 1849) composer. My father is a Frenchman living in Poland and my mother is Polish. Chopin was born in Lacova-Vola, near Warsaw. When I was six years old, I began to learn piano. I studied under Adal Bay Rivney. At the age of seven, he composed his first polonaise dance (G minor) and began to perform at the age of eight. His father is a law teacher and has held various positions in Warsaw. He insisted that Chopin should receive general education in addition to music education. At the age of ten, the singer Catalani was moved by Chopin's performance and gave him a pocket watch. Chopin played for czar Alexander I when he was fifteen, and the czar gave him a diamond ring. At the age of sixteen, he entered the Warsaw Conservatory of Music and studied composition under Joseph Elsner. Polish folk music, Bel Canto of Italian opera and hummel's style all influenced him. 1829, he wrote a piano concerto in f minor (usually called the second concerto, although it was actually written before it was published as the first concerto in e minor). In the same year, he held two concerts in Vienna, visited Dresden and Prague, and declared his love to the singer constance Gladcov Scarqufeng after returning home. However, after playing his two concertos in Warsaw the following year, he left Poland, which was led by Russia in ancient times, and settled in Paris on 183 1, where he began to teach and hold concerts. He met Liszt, Mendelssohn, Berlioz and Bei Lini, and began to associate with the female writer george sand in 1837. At that time, he had just broken off his secret engagement to Maria Wojinska. From 1838 to 1839, he spent the winter in Mallorca with george sand, but the bad climate and living conditions affected his health, and his tuberculosis became more and more serious. From 1840 to 1847, she still lives in Paris with george sand and her villa in Nuoan. George Thornton, who is six years older than him, takes good care of him and helps to rejuvenate his talents. Many of the best works, including Twenty-four Preludes, Sonata in B flat minor, Sonata in B minor and Fantasia in F minor, were written in these two periods. After their relationship broke down (george sand's two children began to quarrel), Chopin's inspiration and health declined, but he continued to teach and hold private concerts. 1848, although seriously ill, he visited England and Scotland. His student, Jane Stringer, took Chopin to her brother-in-law, Lord Tolfi Xing's country house to recuperate, and gave him fifteen thousand francs, which was badly needed at that time. In London, he played for Queen Victoria, but the social life in England exhausted him. The following year, he died in Paris.

Chopin's works are almost all piano music. He learned something from the works of Field and Hume, and benefited a lot from the study of Bach's works, but the main composers at that time had little influence on him. He successfully created a unique art of keyboard writing, which has the advantages of slender piano timbre and uses melody decoration to enrich the harmony texture. He was well versed in the metaphor of "saying near and referring far", and he developed a harmonious realm far beyond the traditional boundaries at that time. Other influences come from Polish folk music, especially Mazzuca dance. Melody style originated from Italian opera and usually requires superb skills. But Chopin was careful to point out that his mazurka was "not for dancing". In fact, they are also his most distinctive works, just like a private notebook, which records the harmony and rhythm experiments he heard in his life, the most exquisite and changeable piano timbre he explored, and all his emotional changes. The earliest Mazzuca dance was written before 1830 left his hometown. The last emotional song (F minor) was the last song he wrote in his life. Chopin took Mazurka dance music on the piano as his unique form. The same is true of his ballads (* * * IV, inspired by the generalization of Miskiewicz's poems) and keyboard scherzo, which makes scherzo have a sharp and ironic nature completely different from Beethoven's scherzo. His "Twenty-four Preludes", with different tunes in each capital, is Chopin's creative contribution to Bach's art. Chopin realized that his genius was mainly used in piano ditties with perfect proportions. He has injected rich and strong poetry into this kind of works, but his sonatas also show his ability to control large-scale works without loosening the materials. Pedantic pedants may argue that they are not "strict" sonatas (although each sonata follows the traditional form of several movements), but people do not want these sonatas to appear in another form because their structure has a pleasant logic. The same is true of his concertos (often underestimated). Some critics think that his orchestration is not very clever, but it is far from it. His orchestration is always flexible and sensitive. Sometimes it is even full of positive originality (such as the application of bassoon). His performance is unparalleled in detail and tension. He plays sentences that his contemporaries find difficult to understand perfectly.

Chopin's main works are:

(1) piano and orchestra: two concertos; Andante is fluent, Polish dance music; Polish song fantasia; Rondo colac Viak; Variations on the theme "Give me your hand".

(2) Piano solo: four ballads; Three Scottish dances; 27 etudes; Three impromptu songs; Fifty-one mazurka dances; Nineteen nocturnes; Twelve Polish dances; 25 preludes; Four scherzos; Three sonatas; Seventeen waltzes; Boat song; Lullaby; Fantasia in f key; Fantasy improvisation

(3) Chamber music: piano trio; Cello sonata; Introduction to Cello and Piano and Polonaise.

(4) Songs: Seventeen Polish songs.

Chopin Chopin Frederic (1810.3.1~1849.10.17) is a Polish composer and pianist. His creations are mainly piano works, and most of them are ditties, but his outstanding imagination and superb skills make him one of the greatest music poets in the world. His music is inspired by his own tragic experience with Poland, and his melody is unique, expressing not only deep feelings of sadness. Although his works have the essence of romanticism, they are classical innocence and free and easy, and have no romantic addiction at all. Weak and sensitive, humorous and good at imitation and satire. His father's French teacher. The whole family loves art very much. In infancy, they had a strange reaction to the piano sounds of their mother and sister, and were deeply influenced by folk music. At the age of six, they were able to play what they heard on the piano. At the age of seven, they studied piano with musician Raffini for five years. At the age of eight, she performed at a charity concert for the first time. The following year, she dared to play in front of the famous Italian soprano Catalani. Three years later, she improvised for Russian Tsar Alexander I who attended the opening ceremony of Polish Parliament. As a "gifted child", he can not only play the piano, but also compose music. At the age of seven, he wrote Polonaise in G minor and published it. Archduke Constantine used one of his marches in the military parade. Then he made some Polonez, Mazzuca, Variations, Scottish Dances, Rondo and so on. Elsner used to be a composer. He studied music theory for several years. /kloc-joined the newly-built Warsaw Conservatory of Music under his leadership when he was 0/6 years old. 1829 Going to Vienna for the first time broadens the musical horizon. At the request of local publishers, piano manufacturers and nobles, it was performed twice in August and achieved great success. 1March, 830, officially premiered as an adult in Warsaw, playing Piano Concerto No.2 in F minor. In June of that year, he left Poland again 1 1, and parked in the garage in Elsner, a suburb of Warsaw, to let a selected choir sing a farewell chorus for love and see him off, which seemed to indicate that Poland would never see its wanderer again. After arriving in Vienna, everything was disappointing. At that time, there was an uprising in Poland, and he stood up against the Russian invaders. He was very excited about it, but his family didn't want him to go back to the war, so he decided to go to Paris to seek a better environment. While waiting for my passport and visa, I made some enthusiastic music, such as scherzo and revolutionary etude in B minor, and also composed music for some patriotic poems. Later, I went to Stuttgart, Germany, and heard that Warsaw was captured by Russian troops. I was heartbroken and almost unable to extricate myself. 183 1 arrived in Paris in September and lamented the extremes of "luxury and filth, virtue and sin". Through the introduction of a friend in Vienna, I got to know Polish exiles and famous composers there, such as Rossini, Liszt, Berlioz and Mendelssohn. At the same time, Schumann in Germany spoke highly of him, calling him a representative of the new romantic era. However, his slender performance failed to win everyone's appreciation at large-scale concerts, but it was very popular at salons. The works of this period include two etudes, ballads in E minor, impromptu fantasy and some dances of Mazzuca and Bolognez inspired by strong national feelings. 1836, she met George Thornton, a bohemian female writer, and eloped to Mallorca in the autumn of 1838, where they began to live together for ten years. 1848 ended because of disagreement. During this period, I wrote 24 preludes, including drama scherzo in C minor, tragic Polonaise dance in C minor, fantasia in F minor, boat song, Polonaise fantasia in F minor, narrative in F minor and sonata in B minor. After breaking up with Sang, she was depressed and the fire of the Paris Revolution broke out again. In this case, she accepted the invitation of her Scottish female student Sterling to visit Britain and Scotland for the first time. Due to weak health and homesickness, she didn't create anything during her stay in England, but only played once for Polish refugees. 1848165438+1After returning to Paris in October, her condition deteriorated. Before he died, he just wanted to destroy his unfinished manuscript and sing Mozart's requiem at the funeral. One year after his death, when the cemetery monument was unveiled, people scattered a box of soil from Poland on his grave.
