What Is Chopin's Legacy
Chopin's exact and delicate style of playing, along with his ability to improvise, are characteristics of his music that contributed to his legacy.
I know this because in the article it says, "His ability to improvise...inspired awe in those who heard him ... Chopin was also known for his precise and delicate playing."

    Pyotr Llyich Tchaikosvsky: Music Analysis

    I greatly admire his music because of how different he was. He beautifly used different instruments in all his works. He didn't just stick to one style, some of his music could be cheerful, and some could be a little darker. I love how the Nutcracker combined his music with a ballet. I especially admire the time and effort it must have took to make such a piece.…

    Pyotr Tchaikovsky Research Paper

    Tchaikovsky's music was marked by a sensuously rhythmic pulse, and an innate melodic ability that enabled him to create some of the world's greatest ballet music. Music that shows a mixture of playful classicism and romantic verve. That he should incorporate such melodies into his symphonies prompted some critics to attack. Tchaikovsky's quick defense was simple; ballet music was by no means inferior to any other form of music. This inevitably would be affirmed by the millions of people who still rally behind his symphonies in praise (Mayo…

    The Legacy Of Dmitri Shostakovich's Music

    If you were just a scrawny composer and your city had been hit in the siege in World War II, you probably wouldn’t go on writing the intermezzo of your seventh symphony, but 20th century Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich wasn’t your average man. He was despised by Stalin and the communist party, his music was original and adored by Russia, and he was known as the darling of the Soviet avant garde. In his music and his life, Shostakovich was a great risk taker, and never let any danger he was in affect his music.…

    Sergei Rachmaninoff

    Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff was born April 1st, 1873 in Semyonovo, Russia and can be classified as a Russian-American composer, pianist and conductor. While his reputation as a composer only came later in life, Rachmaninoff 's skill as pianist was well-known and highly respected. He was one of the greatest pianists of his generation, having legendary technical facilities and rhythmic drive, and his large hands were able to cover a thirteenth interval on the piano (a distance requiring a hand span of approximately twelve inches) (Wikipedia, 2006). Like most artists, Rachmaninoff endured periods of extreme mental depression and also had to suffer the strain of leaving his own native country in which he emigrated to American at the height of his fame, due to the Russian Revolution of 1917. His life was one of comparative stability in the history of Russian and American music. In him, there were none of the emotional complexities of Tchaikovsky or Scriabin, yet there were contradictions of his personality. Audiences, who observed him for the first time, were amazed to see that such a cool outward appearance could conceal the warmth of feeling of his piano playing. It was only in his music, both as a pianist and composer, that he was able to release his inner emotions (Norris, 1976). It is with this inner passion, that Rachmaninoff was able to create an abundant amount of imaginative and innovative music.…

    Chopin's The Awakening

    Nevertheless, I hadn’t resolved to actually learn it yet. I could read sheet music thanks to middle school band practice and a short dabble at playing the guitar; a pursuit that ended for the same reason I feared delving into the ordeal of learning the piano. I was overwhelmed by the endeavor of trying to become the nameless pianist in my fantasies. Pieces like Chopin’s “Winter Wind” Etude started to distort in my mind, becoming walls that discouraged me in lieu of the music that once inspired me. One day, however, I decided to start with something small. “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” will forever be the cornerstone of my lifelong pursuit at the piano, which was followed by many other songs as I continued to improve and hone my technique. It wasn’t long ago, now, that I finished Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata,” and began practicing Mozart’s formidable “Rondo alla…
