The second piece chosen was to compare a 20th-century composer Rachmaninov who had perfect command of the symphony orchestra and was able to compose for both. The Concerto N°2 mvt 2 was used as these two movements were slow and moderately slow: moderato and larghetto. Rachmaninov was considered neo-classism.

Chopin was born in Poland in 1810 and died in Paris in 1849. His father was born in France and had moved back to Poland. Frédéric was considered one of the first nationalistic composers of his time. The politics of the time were difficult. Russia was expanding. Poles were emigrating. Nationalistic feelings were high. It was common to compose using nationalistic songs. Rachmaninov did not have the same priorities.

Chopin’s music is full of Polish influence, dances, and melodies. He left Poland permanently in 1831 and settled in Paris. As a perfectionist, he could no longer accept the Warsow public as a judge of his abilities as a musician, composer, and conductor. He had already composed his first two piano concertos Opus I & II. Chopin composed in the height of the Romantic Period. He wanted to learn from others.

In Paris, Chopin was overwhelmed with the bubbly atmosphere of nationalism. Artists from the different artistic movements met frequently (literary, music, art). There was a large Polish community due to the Russian evasion of Poland. As of 1832, he had made a place for himself in the music world. It is important to note that he did not like his playing technique saying that it was not good for large halls. He had composed and trained on a 19th century piano which was still not loud enough for large concert halls. He would perform in the small, private salons which were from the patronage system of the 18th century. He performed once a year for a large concert hall. This had an effect on the type of music he composes.

All of his music is written for piano or piano concerto or piano and chamber orchestra

The Concerto N°1 Opus 11 pour piano and orchestra can be played with other instrumentation. It is partly due to the importance of the different colors of the piano and the way Chopin used the orchestra. Joseph Hofman orchestrated the concerto for piano et quintet (2 violins, one viola, one cello, and one bass).
