I'm trying to play this piece right now, but it is very challenging. I am beginning learning the 3rd section, but I still struggle with the descending chromatic broken octave scale in the 1rst and 2nd sections, 1-2-1-5, 1-2-1-5, ugh...I absolutely love Chopin, Ashkenazy, and this piece. Thank you for posting!
Simply sublime playing by Ashkenazy: gorgeous tone, technical mastery, and supreme musicality. Bravo! I love this piece; several of Chopin's unpublished works in his lifetime surely deserve the attention they are now receiving, and this is one of the best examples.
@billyguns2 yes it certainly is a unique piece....i can see how it would not have met with public acceptance...since it's in such difficult key for most practical musicians and music lovers to properly attach themselves to.
@billyguns2 I learned to play this polonaise earing Ashkenazy's version...I love it, on my channel there is my version, recorded in Napoli last year, what do you think about? :)
According biography published these days by Pascale Fautrier in French, Chopin (aka Pichon) wrote it between 14 and 15 years old , which is amazing. 2010 is Chopin 's year !
This polonaise doesn't get enough attention. Heroic is very good, but so is this one. When did Chopin write this piece? Because I think I read that he wrote it in 1824, making Chopin 14-ish (which would be very impressive)
Exquisite. Many thanks for posting this. Trying to learn this Polonaise, so it is very helpful to have an Ashkenazy Master Class! But even hard work cannot compensate for lack of such talent. Check out the gifted young Hungarian Adam Szokolay's performance of this Polonaise last year in the Michel Sogny Fondation SOS Talent concert in Paris - a bright future ahead for him, and for all who enjoy classical piano.

According to wikipedia he wrote this piece in 1822 for Madame Du-Pont.
But was released to the public posthumously.
Thanks for the comment!

Yea I've read some places that he wrote this in 1822 also. It is unbelievable that Chopin was capable of this kind of composition at 12.
