About Chopin
Chopin's use of rubato must have been a miracle of subtlety and taste. Although the four Ballades, which are among his greatest works ( No.1 in g, Op.23 ; No.2 in F, Op.38 ; No.3 in Ab, Op.47 ; and No.4 in f, Op.52 ), may have been inspired by poetry, they do not have any direct programmatic implications. The supreme painters of the time, Delacroix (painter of the most famous Chopin portrait) and Ingres lived there as did many great composers including Liszt, Rossini, Berlioz and the important pianists Kalkbrenner, Thalberg and Herz.

Karol Szymanowski
a Polish composer and pianist. Szymanowksi was born in Ukraine. He studied music privately with his father before going to the Elizawetgrad School of Music and, from 1901, the State Conservatory in Warsaw (he was later director there for a few years at the end of the 1920s). He travelled widely, throughout Europe and to the USA. He died in a sanatorium in Lausanne. Szymanowski's was influenced by the music of Richard Strauss, Max Reger, Alexander Scriabin and the impressionism of Claude Debussy. He also drew influence from his countryman Frederic Chopin and Polish folk music, and like Chopin he wrote a number of mazurkas for piano (the mazurka being a Polish folk dance). Among Szymanowski's better known works are his two violin concertos, the three Myths for violin and piano,

Rosemary Brown (spiritualist)
to produce works dictated to her by Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms, Johann Sebastian Bach, Rachmaninov, Franz Schubert, Edvard Grieg, Claude Debussy, Chopin, Schumann and Ludwig Beethoven. Mrs Brown had no musical training when she was a child aside from a few piano lessons. Someone once claimed that maybe she had advanced musical training but then forgot it in a bad case of amnesia. This claim was said to be preposterous by the Brown's family doctor. Rosemary claims that those few piano lessons were the only musical training she has had. Mrs Brown claimed that famous composers dictated work to her. In 1969 she was put to a test. She was put in front of a piano by British Broadcasting Company and waited for Liszt to appear. He came and dictated to

Eugène Ysaÿe
my life'. Ysaÿe was the possessor of a large and flexible tone, influenced by a varied and nearly continuous vibrato. While he, like many of his contemporaries, used the portamento more often than modern players, he used it with discretion and taste and never as a mere technical aid. Possibly the most distinctive feature of Ysaÿe's interpretations was his masterful rubato. Rubato is literally 'stealing' of time; it usually implies a mere flexing of tempo for expressive purposes. Ysaÿe's rubato is something apart; whenever he stole time from one note, he paid it back in another place, allowing his accompanist to maintain strict tempo under his free cantilena. This kind of rubato fits the description of Frederic Chopin's rubato, but, of all the early performers on record, is the only real
