Meet Frédéric François Chopin
Paris became my adopted city — a place alive with artists and poets. There, I found friendship, admiration, and an audience who listened not to fireworks of sound, but to whispers of poetry on the keys.
Meet Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy
My life was not long—I left the world at thirty-eight—but I hope that in those years I was able to contribute something true, something that still sings. If my music carries a touch of grace, or awakens in you the beauty I felt when writing it, then my task is complete.
Meet Johannes Brahms
I was born in Hamburg in 1833, the son of a modest musician. My earliest days were filled with the sounds of the docks, of sailors’ songs, and of my father’s double bass. From these beginnings, I discovered that music was not merely entertainment — it was a language, capable of speaking directly to the soul.
Meet Franz Peter Schubert
I began to write music almost as soon as I learned to read it. By the time I was a young man, melodies seemed to visit me daily, so insistently that I sometimes felt more like their scribe than their creator.
Meet Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
My life was not always easy. I was no stranger to financial hardship; the rewards of music did not always cover the cost of living. Yet I was never discouraged for long, for I felt compelled to write. Ideas would seize me — symphonies, concertos, sonatas — and until they were set on paper, I could not rest.
Meet Ludwig van Beethoven
I was born in Bonn in 1770, though the exact date was never recorded. My early years were shaped by music—my father, a singer, hoped I’d become another Mozart. By the age of seven, I was already performing in public, and before long, I found myself composing works of my own. Music became my language—more precise than words, more honest than conversation.
