Frederic
Chopin, the
great Polish composer,
was born near Warsaw
in 1810 and died in
1849 in Paris. Despite
constant bad health
(he suffered from
tuberculosis) Chopin
established himself in
Paris in 1832 where he
composed the bulk of
his works for
piano.
During his lifetime Chopin
was greatly acclaimed by
his contemporaries and the
public alike and he rightly
earned the title, "poet of
the piano".
Most of the works in this
volume are first
transcriptions for the
guitar however I have
reworked Tarregas'
transcription of Preludes'
No. 7 and No. 20 and
changed the key of Mazurka
No. 22 (F#m) however this
is to facilitate later key
changes within the
piece.
Interestingly the beautiful
Mazarka No. 45 Op. 67 No. 2
which I have retained in
it's original key of Gm was
the second to last piece
composed before Chopin's
death.
