    In Nocturne in D flat Major, Frederic Chopin (1810-1849) creates a complex work that consists of complicated harmonies and rhythmic motives. These two components are interwoven to build elaborate themes which lead to a melodic design that Chopin is known for. The piece has multiple key elements that combine to form this expressive work for piano, such as thematic growth. Various themes are introduced in the work and as Chopin develops them, they are barely recognizable. Other important elements in the creation of the nocturne are register and pitch. Register provides support for the harmonies which in turn serve as the foundation on which the piece is built.…

    The history behind this period comes from a plethora of countries, ages, and languages. For example the name “romanticism” takes its appellation from the medieval term “romances” which is usually considered a narration about the feats of heroes typically in an unknown setting. For instance during his reign Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) repealed the necessities of social, religious and political ameliorates. Therefore Artists tackled their craft with an ardent feeling that was similar or even more charismatic than that of the people actually going through it. Romanticism was started as a literary crusade in Germany during the 1800s soon after the idea spread through Europe. The Ideology was not only found appealing by poets and painters but by people that had an interest in imagination and bringing their…

    Frédéric Chopin was at the center of music at this time. His friend group consisted of a pianist name Franz Liszt, and writer George Sand. As his relationship with Sand was ripped apart by jealousy and conflict, his music became much more melancholic. It is assumed that there was a love interest involved because of his ballads and sonatas. His technique on the piano coincides with the native dance of Poland called a Mazurka. Chopin’s concertos involve an aspects called rubato, or “robbed time,” meaning that the rhythm can change without upsetting the beat. These subtle shifts in harmony are typical in everyday folk music. His major works include two piano concertos, four ballades, three sonatas, and many more. He accomplished all of this by the time he was 39 and had an untimely death due to…

At a very young age his original style of playing and composing astonished the polish aristocracy. After a fire broke out in his village many years later the home of Chopin was one of the few left standing. The house was set up for restoration as a museum and small concert hall. Chopin is the only composer labeled as "great" to write almost exclusively for the piano. Coming from a poor family he found his love for music at an early age. As a gifted child he began writing and composing his own pieces and has his first published by the age of seven. After realizing his fragile stature couldn’t last with composers like Liszt he was left to teach for most of his wages while playing in smaller concerts.
