Watch Whole Notes: Frederic Chopin The Piano Man

Frederic Chopin was a virtuoso pianist who revolutionized the world of piano music forever. He wrote no symphonies, no masses, no operas and no string quartets. He was the master of the small form. Born in Poland, he lived and died in Paris as an exile. We look at how Chopin changed the world's perception of how the piano should, and could, be played through some the most beautiful and poetic music ever written.
