F.Chopin's life, musical understanding,pieces and the influence of the relationship between A. Mickiewicz and F. Chopin on Op. 23 No.1 G Minor Ballade

The aim of this work is to observe the great composer F. Chopin from a different angle, who has a distinctive place in the piano literature. In many sources, it is indicated that when composing the ballades, Chopin was inspired by the Polish poet A. Mickiewicz who is also discussed here. Starting from their accomplicities, the effect of this frendship to Chopin's works is treated. When we look into the life of A.Mickiewicz, we encounter an intresting point; the poet spent his last year in Istanbul and there is still a museum holding his name in the city. The relation between Chopin and Mickiewicz who is also a Turk admirer, is much more engrossing in this context.
