* DownerEnding: The last two movements of Chopin's ''[[Music/PianoSonataNoTwoInBFlatMinor Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor]]'' consist of a slow movement "Marche funèbre" and a bleak, enigmatic "perpetual motion" finale that is mostly hushed in feel and definitively ends in a minor key.

* NeverTrustATitle: The so-called "Minute Waltz" has nothing to do with its performance duration, instead using the work "minute" to mean "small." In fact, Chopin gave the work the title ''Valse du petit chien (Waltz of the Little Dog)'' because he got the idea for the piece after watching a small dog chasing its tail.

* IllBoy: The composer was slender and delicate, not at all robust of constitution. His piano playing was noted for its refinement and delicacy, in sharp contrast to the splashy virtuosity of his contemporaries.

* PatrioticFervor: Chopin was born in Poland, but spent most of his life in Paris. Nevertheless, several of his compositions display a strong affinity for his country of birth. He wrote several examples of works derived from Polish dances such as the polonaise and mazurka, and his ''[[Music/ScherzoNoOneInBMinor Scherzo No. 1 in B minor]]'', Op. 20 quotes the Polish Christmas carol "Lulajze, Jezuniu." Chopin was one of the first overtly nationalist Romantic period composers.
