Composer Frederic Chopin – Scherzo No 4 E major Op 54 Classical Music
Composer Frederic Chopin – Scherzo no. 4 in E major, Op. 54 Classical Music
Frédéric Chopin composed his Scherzo in E major, Op. 54, the fourth and the last of his scherzos, in 1842. It was published the following year. Unlike the preceding three scherzi (Op. 20, Op. 31, Op. 39), Op. 24 is generally calmer in temperament, though it still possesses some exceptionally passionate and dramatic moments. The piece is in sonata rondo form, moving to a trio in C-sharp minor that is based on a Polish folk song. This scherzo is the longest out of the four: a standard rendition lasts around 10 minutes.
Frederic Francois Chopin was a Polish composer March 1, 1810 -October 17, 1849, virtuoso pianist, and music teacher of French-Polish parentage. He was one of the great masters of Romantic piano music.
Frederic Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola, a village in the Duchy of Warsaw. He was considered a child prodigy and, after completing his musical education and following the Russian suppression of the Polish 1830 Uprising, he settled in Paris.
Frederic Chopin supported himself as a composer and piano teacher, giving few public performances. From 1837 to 1847 he carried on a relationship with the French woman writer George Sand. For most of his life,
Chopin suffered from poor health; he died in Paris in 1849 at the age of 39.
The vast majority of Frederic Chopin’s works are for solo piano, the most notable exceptions being his two concertos. His compositions, though technically demanding, emphasize nuance and expressive depth.
Frederic Chopin invented the musical form known as ‘instrumental ballade’ and made major innovations to the piano sonata, mazurka, waltz, nocturne, polonaise, etude, impromptu, scherzo, and prelude.
