Born in Zelazowa Wola, a small city near Warsaw, Poland on February 22, 1810, Chopin first studied the piano at the Warsaw School of Music, and was quite proficient on that instrument by his early teens. He played his first public concert at age 7, and was a published composer at 15. By the late 1820s, Chopin had won a great reputation as a piano virtuoso and composer of classic piano pieces ranging from such Chopin music as the Revolutionary Étude (Op. 10, No. 12) to the Minute Waltz (Op. 64, No. 1), to the Funeral March sonata (Op. 35), which is often used as an iconic representation of grief

Chopin moved to Paris in 1831, where he was embraced by the cultural elite and continued to compose.

In 1837, he met the novelist Mme. Aurore Dudevant, who used the pseudonym George Sand.

Heartbroken over the loss of his love, Chopin continued to compose, but was soon stricken with tuberculosis. He grew too sick to work, and suddenly died on October 17, 1849, at the age of only 39.
