Frederic Chopin was born in March 1810 near Warsaw in Poland( 波兰 ). He was one of the greatest musicians in the world. In 1831, he went to Paris. No people but he could play the piano very well. At that time, people in Paris liked the Hungarian ( 匈牙利的 ) pianist Franz Liszt. One night, at a concert, Liszt went to the piano and people shouted. As all the lights in the concert were turned off, a wonderful piano concert started. The music was so good that the listeners were all greatly interested. They kept praising ( 不停地赞扬 ) the pi anist and thought that Liszt had reached something new in playing the piano. Suddenly, all the lights were turned on again as the music came to an end. And there stood a young man instead of the famous Hungarian pianist Franz Liszt. Liszt planned all this. As the lights went out, Liszt left his chair and let Chopin take his place. So with the help of Liszt and his own talent ( 天赋 ), Chopin soon became famous.
