Evangelicals and Art: Frederic Chopin

/ wonderingeagle

This weekend I want to return to classical music and throw up some pieces from Frederic Chopin. I’m not going to spend too much time on Chopin. If you want to read his biography you can do so here. Chopin, who was a Polish composer, was known for his work as a virtuoso pianist and one of the leading musical figures of the Romantic era. Chopin primarily wrote for the solo piano. My personal favorite is the “Raindrops” which is probably hands down one of the best known pieces in classical music. That said, enjoy you weekend! 🙂 The weather in the Washington, D.C. area is lovely!

  1. Loved the Raindrop Prelude! And yes it truly is good by any metric applied to the word ‘good’.
    So good in fact that Ridley Scott features the selection in his film: Prometheus.
    While we’re on the subject of Classical Music, you might enjoy Bedrich Smetana’s (Czech) work.
    His Moldau is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard.
