Chopin

A bust of Chopin in Mrs. Cardigan's house

Frédéric Chopin (Frédéric François Chopin, Polish Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin) was a famous and prolific 1800s classical romantic composer. Despite having passed away at the age 39 following complications of a long illness, he composed numerous compositions almost, though not entirely exclusively, for piano. His works included sonatas, waltzes, mazurkas, rondos and nocturnes.

Appearances in Arthur

• Binky Barnes is an appreciator of Chopin's works and life. In "D.W.'s Library Card," he was to happy to share a Chopin biography with D.W. Read. When, however, Arthur Read approached the two, he covered the book with one depicting a man doing a karate kick and claimed that he was reading to D.W. about "Choppin'," the great karate master. Arthur led D.W. away, over her protests, and he went back to reading the Chopin biography.
• In a fantasy sequence of Buster's in "Buster's Sweet Success," a band played Chopin's famous "Funeral March." (Piano Sonata No. 2 - Movement 3 Marche funèbre: Lento)
• Mrs. Cardigan, Arthur's former piano teacher, has a bust of Chopin in her home, as seen in "Arthur Plays the Blues".
