From time to time,
however, Chopin also altered pitches, redistributed chords, and even completely
rewrote ornamental passagework, changes that are not found in any other early
sources. Controversy continues over whether these annotations reflect Chopin's
final revisions of his music or spur-of-the-moment changes that were never
intended to have any permanent validity. Chopin was certainly considered one of
the great pianists/composers of our time. He has contributed much to the music
world. He was nominated the Composer of the Year by the Morrison Foundation for
Music Research, Inc. in 1999, the 50th anniversary of his death.
