Frédéric Chopin, one of the greatest piano virtuosos of his era, possessed such mastery that his distinctive Romantic style permeates even his shorter, less technically demanding works like the mazurkas and waltzes. Remarkably, pianists of moderate ability can access Chopin's magical musical realm. This selection offers a progressive introduction to the compositions of this Polish-French master.

Description

This rousing Polonaise, preceded by a nocturne-like Andante, was originally a work for piano and orchestra. Composed concurrently with Chopin's two piano concertos in E minor and F minor, it shares their fresh, youthful spirit. The orchestral part plays a subordinate, accompanying role, allowing the Polonaise to thrive as a solo piano piece - the version most often heard in concert halls today. Reflecting this, our Urtext edition presents the solo piano part exclusively, with the orchestral accompaniment printed in small font only where the piano is tacet.
