He is widely regarded as the greatest Polish composer, and ranks as one of music's greatest tone poets.[4] He was born in the village of Żelazowa Wola, in the Duchy of Warsaw, to a Polish mother and French-expatriate father, and in his early life was regarded as a child-prodigy pianist. In November 1830, at the age of 20, Chopin went abroad; following the suppression of the Polish November Uprising of 1830--31, he became one of many expatriates of the Polish "Great Emigration." In Paris, he made a comfortable living as a composer and piano teacher, while giving few public performances. A Polish patriot,[5][6] in France he used the French versions of his names and eventually, to avoid having to rely on Imperial Russian documents, became a French citizen.[7][8][9] After some ill-fated romantic involvements with Polish women, from 1837 to 1847 he conducted a turbulent relationship with the French writer George Sand (Aurore Dudevant). Always in frail health, in 1849 he died in Paris, at the age of 39, of chronic pulmonary tuberculosis.[10][11] Chopin's extant compositions were written primarily for the piano as a solo instrument. Though technically demanding, Chopin's style emphasizes nuance and expressive depth rather than virtuosity. Chopin invented musical forms such as the ballade[12] and was responsible for major innovations in forms such as the piano sonata, waltz, nocturne, étude, impromptu and prelude. His works are mainstays of Romanticism in 19th-century classical music. Chopin composed 58 Mazurkas (there seem to be at least another 2 unfinished sketches) and many of his other works of different genres are either inspired by the Mazurka or have parts of Mazurkas within them. Chopin did, of course, not invent the Mazurka form. However, it was he alone who put the Mazurka on the public stage and refined it into the highest art of music. In his Mazurkas, you get to know the very soul of Poland and Chopin never forgot his home land or the poor farmers singing the Mazurkas during the time of harvest. Chopin started his composing with a Polonaise and ended with a Mazurka, thus closing the circle.

The Story of the Kalender Prince, from Scheherazade, op. 35 - Nikola
The Story of the Kalender Prince, from Scheherazade, op. 35 - Nikola www.onlineguitaracademy.net - An ancient book of Middle Eastern tales is the inspiration for the Rimsky-Korsakov's beloved suite, Scheherazade. This is a solo guitar transcription of the suite's second movement, "The Story of the Kalender Prince." Scheherazade tells the story of a marginalized woman in a repressive society who uses her wit as a lever to dislodge power from her violent, brutal husband, the ruler of the land in which she lives. In her struggle to survive, she changes an empire. Scheherazade may be a fictional work, but it attests to the power that even the repressed can wield against institutionalized violence. This timeless narrative inspires us, like the story's hero, to stand against oppression in our world.

Jazz Legato & Jazz Pizzicato - Leroy Anderson's First Record
Jazz Legato & Jazz Pizzicato - Leroy Anderson's First Record Boston Pops Orchestra, conducted by Arthur Fiedler, playing "Jazz Legato" and "Jazz Pizzicato" by Leroy Anderson on RCA Victor 10-1089-B, released in 1939. Leroy Anderson wrote his first original composition, "Jazz Pizzicato", in 1938 and it became an immediate Boston Pops hit. But when Arthur Fiedler wanted to record it, he noticed that it would fill up only half of a 10-inch 78rpm side, so he asked Anderson to write a companion piece to fill up the side, and out came "Jazz Legato". The record has a small piece missing on its edge. Player: BSR UA25 curiously mounted sideways in Canadian-made Shelbern console.
