Why is Chopin considered as "The Poet of the Piano"?
Music and poetry have a rhythmic and rhythm is the foundation to form these art form. They both engage the listeners and readers emotional level and they rely on the descriptive imagery. Music is simply poetry as they both share love, joy, sadness, or criticism of life.
I regard Chopin to be the most magnificent phenomenon not only in the history of Polish poetry but in global art as a whole. – Julian Tuwim (Polish poet, 1894 – 1953)
In romantic period, poetry was influential in compositions as poetry contains certain emotion that is similar to the essentials of making romantic music. A lot of nineteenth century composer used poetry as the root of their works, like how Schumann portrayed Goethe's Faust. Chopin also depicted poetry in his piano works in certain spheres. This essay involves how Chopin's works have musical poetry that he received the name "The Poet of the Piano".Chopin was different with Mozart or Schubert as in they composed in a facile manner while he composed two concertos for piano and orchestra, piano sonatas, polonaises, nocturnes, etudes, waltzes, mazurkas, scherzos, ballades, rondos, impromptus, sets of variation, fantasia, barcarolle, bolero, tarantella, Polish songs for solo voice with piano accompaniment and preludes. Chopin earned the name " The Poet of the Piano" for his contribution of 80 opuses to the instrument piano.
Frederic Chopin is one of the most romantic figure since he was dreamy and tender as a man. His character, of course, mirrors exactly in his compositions. In order to perform Chopin's composition, one needs to appreciate his strange and wondrous loveliness. There are so many musician executing chopin's works who gave up because they failed to deliver the sensitivity of Chopin's music. As an example, his E minor Prelude got everything that amateur pianist needs to be good in their technique. Technique here does not mean a fast finger to play an accurate note
