I'm not on a Windows machine right now. But you should try

<audio src="file:///C:/classical/chopin.wav" controls ></audio>

Of course, this only works, if the webpage is viewed locally on your machine.

Keep your audio file in html folder and this code will work.

<audio controls>
  <source src="chopin.wav" type="audio/wav">
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>
