For Polish composer Frederic Chopin, the piano was truly his first love. A child prodigy who became skilled with the instrument and began composing music before the age of ten, Chopin produced some of the best examples of music from the romantic period during his short life. His sonatas and etudes are noteworthy for their clear sense of emotion and melodic flair, blending daunting technical virtuosity with lilting serenity. Part of Sony Classical's "Greatest Hits" series, CHOPIN GREATEST HITS collects some of his better known works in one compilation, allowing you to sample the highlights of the composer's body of work. Included are "Polonaise in A Flat," "Nocturne in B," "Prelude in C Minor" and other favorites.
