I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who were two of Chopin's contemporaries?
All the background I'm provided with is that "While his illness and his love-affairs conform to some of the stereotypes of romanticism, the rarity of his public recitals (as opposed to performances at fashionable Paris soirées) led Arthur Hutchings to suggest that "his lack of Byronic flamboyance [and] his aristocratic reclusiveness make him exceptional" among his romantic contemporaries, such as Liszt and Henri Herz.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
