Frédéric François Chopin, (  1 March 1810 – 17 October 1849), was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist.
He is considered one of the great masters of Romantic music.
Chopin was born in the Napoleonic Duchy of Warsaw, to a French- expatriate  father and Polish mother.
He was considered a child prodigy pianist.
Following the Russian suppression of the Polish November uprising of 1830, Chopin settled in France.
There he made a comfortable living as a composer and piano teacher, giving few public performances.
After ill-fated romantic involvements with Polish women, from 1837 to 1847 he had a turbulent relationship with the French female novelist George Sand.
For the greater part of his life Chopin suffered from poor health; he died of  pulmonary tuberculosis in Paris, aged 39.
The great majority of Chopin’s compositions were written for the piano as solo instrument; all of his extant works feature the piano in one way or another.
Hermann have created a beautiful bear to commemorate the wonderful life of Frederic Chopin.
He is made from brown mohair plush, with excelsior filling, and is wearing a beautiful blue velvet cape, with a rich red ‘kerchief around his neck, and is a scroll of music.
Frederic is a musical bear, and plays “Tristesse” Chopin Etude Op 10 Nr 3
