Which of the following composers did not compose symphonies?

From the four names listed, Frederic Chopin is the music composer who did not compose symphonies. He is famous for being a virtuoso pianist of the Romantic movement. He invented the concept of the instrumental ballade, a form of poetic verse, often a narrative set to music. His major piano works also include mazurkas, waltzes, nocturnes, polonaises, études, impromptus, scherzos, preludes and sonatas, some published only after his death. He never wrote a symphony, an extended musical composition, scored for an orchestra.

All of Chopin's compositions (over 230 works that have survived) include the piano. Most are for solo piano, though he also wrote two piano concertos, a few chamber pieces, and some 19 songs set to Polish lyrics. His piano writings are deemed to be technically demanding; they mostly expand the musical limits of the piano. Chopin's piano performances were publicly noted for their nuance and sensitivity.

Frederic Chopin was born in March 1810 in Żelazowa Wola, Poland. He lived for 39 years and died on October 17, 1849, in Paris, France. He worked as a composer and pianist all his adult life. Despite dreadful health, with a fever and exhaustion, in November 1848, he gave his last ever concert – at the Guildhall in London, England. He did this to earnestly support and aid Polish emigrants. When Chopin died, it was from tuberculosis. He had suffered from the disease for the last 11 years of his life. He is buried in Paris; his heart is buried in Warsaw, Poland.
