Arguably one <strong>of</strong> the greatest children's book authors <strong>of</strong> all-time wrote his stories alone,<br />

This world-renowned and inspirational composer was so introverted that he gave only<br />
about 30 public performances in his lifetime. Instead, he played for small groups <strong>of</strong><br />
friends and made a living by selling his compositions and teaching piano. Chopin’s most<br />
quiet and troubled times have become known as his most productive composition<br />
periods.<br />
