Frédéric Chopin (Polish: Fryderyk (Franciszek) Chopin, sometimes Szopen; French: Frédéric (François) Chopin; English family name pronunciation IPA: /ʃoʊˈpæn/) (March 1, 1810,[1] – October 17, 1849) was a Polish[2] pianist and piano composer of the Romantic period. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers for the piano.
Chopin was born in the village of Żelazowa Wola, Duchy of Warsaw, to a Polish mother and French-expatriate father. Hailed in his homeland as a child prodigy, at the age of twenty Chopin left Poland forever. In Paris, he made a career as performer, teacher and composer, and he adopted the French version of his given names, Frédéric-François. From 1837 to 1847 he had a turbulent relationship with the French writer George Sand (Aurore Dudevant). Always in frail health, at 39 in Paris he succumbed to pulmonary tuberculosis.[3] All of Chopin's extant work includes the piano in some role (predominantly as a solo instrument), and his compositions are widely considered to be pinnacles of the piano's repertoire. Although his music is technically demanding, Chopin's style emphasizes nuance and expressive depth rather than technical virtuosity. |

Franz Liszt (Hungarian: Liszt Ferenc; pronounced /lɪst/, in English: list) (October 22, 1811 – July 31, 1886) was a Hungarian[1] virtuoso pianist and composer of the Romantic period. He was a renowned performer throughout Europe during the 19th century, noted especially for his showmanship and great skill with the piano. Today, he is considered to be one of the greatest pianists in history. Liszt is frequently credited with re-defining piano playing itself, and his influence is still visible today, both through his compositions and his legacy as a teacher. He is credited with the invention of the symphonic poem, as well as the modern solo piano recital, in which his virtuosity won him approval by composers and performers alike.

Verdi wrote a lot of operas
Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi /dʒuˈzɛppe ˈverdi/ (either October 9 or 10, 1813 – January 27, 1901) was an Italian Romantic composer, mainly of opera. He was one of the most influential composers of Italian opera in the 19th century and went well beyond the work of Bellini, Donizetti, and Rossini. His works are frequently performed in opera houses throughout the world and, transcending the boundaries of the genre, some of his themes have long since taken root in popular culture - such as "La donna è mobile" from Rigoletto and "Libiamo ne' lieti calici" from La traviata. Although his work was sometimes criticized as catering to the tastes of the common folk, using a generally diatonic rather than a chromatic musical idiom, and having a tendency towards melodrama, Verdi’s masterworks dominate the standard repertoire a century and a half after their composition. |
