“I Like Chopin” is a song by Italian singer Gazebo (born Paul Mazzolini), released on September 4, 1983 with the instrumental version on the B-side. Written by Gazebo and Italian record producer Pierluigi Giombini, it became one of his most successful songs, and one of the most iconic italo disco tracks ever.
The song blends synth-pop and new wave elements, which were popular in the early 1980s. It features atmospheric synthesizers, a gentle rhythm, and Gazebo’s distinctive, emotive vocals. The melody of the song is reminiscent of classical music, although it doesn’t directly borrow from the works of composer Frédéric Chopin, as the title might suggest.
“I Like Chopin” was a major hit across Europe, reaching No. 1 in several countries, including Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. The song’s success helped establish Gazebo as a key figure in the Italo disco genre and remains his signature song to this day.
The song has been covered by numerous artists and is still popular today.
