Francois Frederic Chopin was born at Zelazowa Wola, in Poland, on the 1st of March, 1809. He himself used to say that his life was "an episode, without beginning, and with a sorrowful end." Into the history of that miserable episode, and of the well-known novelist who figured as its heroine, we need not enter. All that now concerns us is his wonderful power as Pianist and Composer. In both branches of Art he was irresistible. In both he soared into an atmosphere of Romance, impenetrably closed to minds of coarser mould. Schumann truly characterized him as "the boldest and proudest Poet-Spirit of the age"; and well described the wonderful individuality of his conceptions in the clever little epigram", Chopin looks at many things; but, always through the same spectacles." His works are very numerous, and full of freshness and beauty. He died, in Paris, on the 17th of October, 1849.
