Frédéric François Chopin compte parmi les compositeurs et pianistes virtuoses les plus admirés de l'ère Romantique. Ses compositions, presque exclusivement pour piano, sont considérées comme des sommets du répertoire pianistique. Le style de Chopin privilégie la poésie, la nuance et la profondeur expressive, plutôt que la simple prouesse technique.
