About Chopin
Posth.), and the Nocturnes ( No.2 in Eb, Op.9 No.2; No.9 in B, Op.32 No.1; and No.17 in B, Op.62 No.1), which were inspired by the works of an Irishman, John Field. Schumann described Chopin's music as "cannon buried in flowers." The surface of Chopin's music may be of the drawing room particularly in pieces such as the Waltzes (for example, from Opus 64: No.1, Valse in c#, (La Valse Minute), and No.2, Valse in c#; Valse in e, Op.posth.), but works such as the Polonaises (including Andante spianato and Grande Polonaise Brilliante, Op.22; Polonaise in Ab (Heroic), Op.53; Polonaise-Fantaisie, Op.61) and Mazurkas (from his Opus 24, No.1 in G; No.2 in C; No.3 in Ab; No.4 in Bb) are filled with a distillation of folk music and national pride. Chopin as early as 1831 expressed his "perhaps too audacious but noble wish and intention to create for myself a new world." And so he did.

The gift of dance (New Orleans Times-Picayune)
"Now take your time," murmured Myra Mier, coaxing the nth degree of artistry out of the ballerina's movements as the young dancer glided across the studio at the Myra Mier School of Ballet in Kenner. "That's it. Pli - é, ré-le-vé," she said, syllables in sync with the music's beat.

Pianist's first inspiration (The Star-Ledger)
For pianist Terrence Wilson, discovering classical music was due to a lucky spin of the dial. The radio dial. Growing up in the Bronx, he found WNCN, a now defunct New York classical radio station, and became entranced with a broadcast of Artur Rubinstein playing Chopin.

Friedrich Gulda
teacher, Gulda began learning to play the piano from Felix Pazofsky at the age of 7; in 1942, he entered the Vienna Music Academy, where he studied piano and musical theory under Bruno Seidlhofer and Joseph Marx. After winning first prize at the International Competition in Geneva four years later, in 1946, he began going on concert tours throughout the world. Together with Jörg Demus and Paul Badura-Skoda, Gulda formed what became known as the "viennese troica". Although most famous for his Beethoven interpretations, Gulda also performed the music of J. S. Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Chopin, Debussy and Ravel; he also cultivated an interest in Jazz from the 1950s on, writing several songs and instrumental pieces himself and also combining Jazz and classical music in his concerts at times. It was

Eunice Norton
Medal and the London Bach Prize in 1927, she performed in Vienna, The Hague, Paris, and Leipzig with the famous Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. In Berlin alone, she gave more than twenty concerts to dazzling critical reviews, including a Bach concert about which musicologist and critic Alfred Einstein wrote, "Her Bach is played as Bach would have wished to hear it." In Amsterdam, Paderewski said after hearing her Chopin, "You will play in all the great halls of the world." As if fulfilling this prediction, Norton soon played in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Budapest. In the United States, she made her formal debut at Carnegie Hall and later premiered many new works at frequent concert appearances at Town Hall. She was invited by Koussevitzsky to play with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and

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,

Alexander Scriabin
the same time. He became a noted pianist. Scriabin also became interested in theosophy. Many of Scriabin's works are written for the piano, the earliest pieces resemble Frederic Chopin and include music in many forms that Chopin himself employed, such as the etude, the prelude and the mazurka. Scriabin's ten piano sonatas, however, are more original, employing very unusual harmonies and textures. The last five of these are written with no key signature and many passages in them can be said to be atonal. See: mystic chord. Scriabin wrote only a small number of orchestral works, including a piano concerto (1896), The Poem of Ecstasy (1908) and Prometheus: The Poem of Fire (1910), which includes a part for a "clavier à lumières" - an implement played like a piano, but which
