Frédéric-François Chopin was a 19th century Polish composer and pianist.

In 2368, Matthew, a boy living in a Human colony on Moab IV played Chopin's Prelude Number 4 on the piano during a concert for the colonists and the visiting crew of the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "The Masterpiece Society")

In 2369, his Trio in G minor was performed on the USS Enterprise-D with Data at the violin, Ensign Cheney at the cello and Nella Daren at the piano. (TNG: "Lessons")

In 2375, when Tom Paris mentioned he was "orchestrating" the antimatter flow aboard the Varro generational ship, B'Elanna Torres suggested that he should try some Chopin when he was finished. (VOY: "The Disease")

Two of his other works, Barcarolle in F-sharp major and Nocturne in E minor, were played by Seven of Nine in 2378. (VOY: "Human Error")

The script of DS9: "Melora" describes Delvok's music as "Chopin meets Spock". [1]
According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 140), in the entry for "Chopin's Trio in G Minor", the birth and death years of Frédéric-François Chopin were 1810 and 1849, respectively. In the entry about Chopin, the Star Trek Encyclopedia (vol. 1, p. 140) described the style of his piano compositions as being of the Romantic era of Western classical.
