About Me

Frederic Fraçois Chopin <------> Fryderyk Franciszek ChopinFrédéric Chopin (Polish: Fryderyk [Franciszek] Chopin, sometimes Szopen; French: Frédéric [François] Chopin; surname pronunciation in English: IPA: /ˈʃoʊpæn/ and French: French pronunciation: [ʃɔpɛ̃]; 1 March 1810 17 October 1849) was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic period. He is widely regarded as one of the world's great composers for piano. Chopin was born in the village of Żelazowa Wola, in the Duchy of Warsaw, to a French-expatriate father and a Polish mother, and in his early life was regarded as a child-prodigy pianist. In November 1830, at the age of twenty, he went abroad; following the suppression of the Polish November Uprising of 1830–1831, he became one of many expatriates of the Polish "Great Emigration."In Paris, Chopin made a comfortable living as a composer and piano teacher, while giving few public performances. Though an ardent Polish patriot, 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. After some ill-fated romantic involvements with Polish women, from 1837 to 1847 he had a turbulent relationship with the French writer George Sand (Aurore Dudevant). Always in frail health, he died in Paris in 1849, at the age of thirty-nine, of chronic pulmonary tuberculosis.Chopin's extant compositions were written primarily for the piano as a solo instrument. Though they are technically demanding, his style emphasises nuance and expressive depth. Chopin invented musical forms such as the ballade and was responsible for major innovations in forms such as the piano sonata, mazurka, waltz, nocturne, étude, impromptu and prélude. His works are masterpieces and mainstays of Romanticism in 19th-century classical music.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

DAVE THOMAS: Dave Thomas is an English Pianist/Accordionist based in São Paulo, Brazil. Already familiar to many fans of French composer Yann Tiersen from his popular YouTube account - on which he covers, entirely by ear, works from the critically acclaimed Amelie soundtrack with an astonishing degree of musicality and touch.As a result Dave was featured on the front page of Youtube and shortly afterwards 2 of his Tiersen covers, "La Noyee" and "La valse d'Amelie Piano" reached the million views mark.Ludovico Einaudi: Born in Turin, Italy, Einaudi's mother played to him on the piano as a child. He began his musical training at the Conservatorio Verdi in Milan, gaining a diploma in composition. Later, he studied with Luciano Berio. In 1982, he gained a scholarship to the Tanglewood Music Festival. He currently resides on a vineyard in the Italian region of Piedmont.After studying at the Conservatory in Milan, and subsequently with Berio, he spent several years composing in traditional forms. In the mid-1980s he began to search for a more personal expression in a series of works for dance and multimedia, and later for piano. His music is ambient, meditative and often introspective, drawing on minimalism, world music, and contemporary pop. He has made a significant impact in the film world, with four international awards to his name.[citation needed]His father was Giulio Einaudi, a publisher, and his grandfather, Luigi Einaudi, was President of the Italian Republic between 1948 and 1955.JIKANGAI: JikanGai born on July 5 in'07. At that time consisted of three candidates, but also had three without specifying (keyboard, bass and drums) ... It all started one day when Saory and Gaeru talked about the possibility of returning to a band .... and previously had a group called Kuroi Rekishi, or that they do not like themselves. Later, they found a battery, a friend of Gaeru, Noriko, to which he proposed the position and accepted. Then he joined Karu, who accepted the position of bassist. The only thing left was their keyboard ... but it did not take much longer to find a friend who knew I had a call Agyko keyboard. In the beginning, that style would not know specifically, because the j-music style is very large. So I decided to go towards a more dark and gloomy, called JRock, and within the JRock, the visual kei. Grazing in style eroguro all felt more confident with the music and songs were versioned group as D'espairs Ray, Marilyn Manson, Hide ... Finally made their debut at the I Jornadas Kuma to Parets del Valles, on 23.02.08 along with playing 4 songs Violent Pachinko, pinku Jisatsu and GothicDolls, which gave them much support. After several months of concert Days Kuma, began espabilarse. Despite the departure of the group Agyko (which is now in place Haru), to make the "larger" decided to seek a 2nd guitarist, and in this case was Masa, who joined quickly. From here all felt more confident and began to move forward to make new covers and own songs and, of course, acting in concert. This suggests that integrates banda style j-rock in Spain, like many other styles that do not know here now, and expect to have good relations with the music and the audience followed.
