This posthumous publication is performed by Vladimir Ashkenazy.

In my opinion this is the 2nd best polonaise after the Heroic. They are parallel.

  • 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!

  • @cathiasus thanks for the comment....and good luck to you in mastering Chopin's beautiful music.

  • 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 I love this piece; several of Chopin's unpublished works in his lifetime surely deserve the attention they are now receiving, and this is one of the best examples.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.

  • 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)

  • According to wikipedia he wrote this piece in 1822 for Madame Du-Pont.

    But was released to the public posthumously.

    Thanks for the comment!

  • I learned to play this polonaise earing Ashkenazy's version...

    thank you...there is my recording on my channel, watch it please :)

  • I lovee this! It reminds me of his eccosaises.

  • ottimo...

  • 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 !

  • 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.
