Polonaises

Album by Fryderyk Chopin & Rafał Blechacz

Polonaises is a collection of piano compositions by Frédéric Chopin, written between 1826 and 1846. These pieces reinterpret the traditional Polish dance form within the Romantic piano repertoire, featuring stately triple-time rhythms, virtuosic piano writing, expressive chromaticism and patriotic gestures, and they occupy a central place in Chopin's middle and late output as key expressions of his national and stylistic identity.
