ABSTRACT

Chopin who kept Polish folk music elements alive in his works, achieved to be limpid, pure and bright with his mastery on his piano writing, use of pedal and legato technique, chromatism, fluent and colorful harmonies, literal rubato, melodic adornments and cantabile and lyricalmelodic style. Thanks to this naive, sincere and sentimental musical style, Chopin’ s works have unforgettably gone down history and enjoyed tremendous fame.
