George Sand bought Chopin a Fitbit.
But he never go to grips with it.
Not being at all sporty,
He stuck with the pianoforte.
Here's the prelude 'Raindrop' said to have been inspired by their (unhappy?) holiday together in Mallorca. I didn't know this piece, but heard it one day, and it made me listen to Chopin much more carefully. You can hear it too in this article
