      Repent and trust in Jesus. we deserve Hell for our sins. For example lying, lusing, saying God's name as a cuss word and stealing our just some examples of sin which we can all admit to doing at least one of those. For our sin we deserve death and Hell, but there is a way out. Repent anf trust in Jesus and you will be saved. Repentence is turning from sin. So repent and trust in Jesus.

      Yeah about the time no I started at 7 when my sister gave my nephews that toy piano. It was a grand and had a song book. My nephews rejected the gift so I acquired it because I played twinkle little star and jingle bells.
      Dad made me a chart and I could play these on a real piano we had in the living room.
      Then mom decided to let me take lessons. I did poorly in school but the nun said piano lessons would be good for him. I never earned an honest grade but the Nuns enjoyed it when I came for lessons. Too bad my lessons didn't count in my regular lessons at school
      But my third grade nun ask what my hobbie was I told her I took piano lessons and she asked me to play in front of the music class and said I was good.
      Too bad it didn't stick when I got older. My dyslexic started to show it's face and never knew I was dyslexic. I was tested but the school district didn't tell my parents anything I guess they thought I would grow out of it when I got older but the opposite happened.
      I failed out of college and mom had me tested by an educational psychologist and she said I was dyslexic and told me to get all my books on audio form. Well it helped academically but didn't help my piano Career so I went into electronics.
      And opened another can of worms my Algebra was a large challenge. The E psychologist told me I had a right to longer testing time the teacher gave me an extra hour but that failed then I finally found a good teacher that let me come to her office for extra help after 9 tries from all the other teachers I finally got a B in the class. Then trig was a piece of cake.
      Calculus was never taken so I just quit school after the community college.
      Now I want to study music again during my retirement years. Maybe piano isn't the best maybe a one line instrument would be better like stings. I cannot blow wind instruments with the cough I get in the spring. Viola sounds like something I could do with my large hands. I like the bass violin but most people get more chances to play if it's the viola.
      Someone told me if you don't want your violin stolen put it in a viola case. Lol sorry so long . 73

He came in when audiences wanted to hear more Beethoven-like music. Almost every composer after him tried following his path, except for Chopin. It was a very bold move from him to get into the more personnal works while also maintainig a very strong and robust composition format in terms of harmonies and melodies. Yes, there are composers that have wrote pieces better than Chopin's, but his courage and his unique genius have both led to his memory being preserved throughout the centuries.

The polonaise he composed at 11 years old is more melodically complex than anything Mozart has written throughout his entire life.

      Chopin's works are more complex and stylish in nature because music is constantly changing and evolving. That was the style during that time. Everything improves and changes as time goes on.

    In the lively streets of Paris, Frédéric Chopin, known for his serious demeanor, found himself in an unexpectedly humorous situation. One day, while shopping at a local market, Chopin came across a street performer playing a rather out-of-tune piano. The performer, recognizing Chopin, challenged him to a playful duel.
    With a grin, Chopin accepted, sitting at the rickety instrument. As he began to play, the market-goers gathered around, intrigued. Chopin improvised a lively and comical tune, exaggerating his movements and making funny faces. The crowd erupted in laughter and applause, charmed by seeing the usually reserved composer in such a light-hearted manner.
    The street performer, not to be outdone, joined in with a humorous dance, and soon, the market turned into an impromptu concert hall filled with joy and laughter. Chopin's playful spirit and musical genius had transformed an ordinary day into a memorable, delightful spectacle, reminding everyone of the sheer fun that music could bring.

      I wouldn’t say that. Liszt didn’t have a super complete style. Sure, he had a style. But he often dove into new styles. Much of his early works are very flashy and virtuoso. He was a showman and a performer. Chopin always had a unique style like no one else. Chopin just developed his style throughout his life. Liszt took inspiration from Beethoven, Chopin, and other contemporaries.

    Lifetime pianist who loves Chopin. I've never seen a lot of evolution in Chopin who was a very conservative composer. The last piece (Mazurka F Minor) sounds eerily like his his first music. The Preludes were artistically daring, the Ballades showed greater mastery, the Nocturnes have a kind of indeterminacy (22 v 8 or 11 v 6 or 4 v 5). The Barcarolle and "25th" Prelude are hints of what would have come if he had lived.
