Description:
Although Chopin did not in his lifetime enjoy fame equal to that of Mendelssohn, Liszt, Kalkbrenner or Hummel, today his works are performed more froquently then those of any of his contemporaries. He was the greates of the romanticiss and the first modernist. His innovations in pedaling and fingering, along with his introduction of new elements of style in playing, were to raise the art of piano to a new pinnacle.
