About this arrangement

Piano SKU: BT.PWMVIII By Ignacy Jan Paderewski_Ludwik Bronarski_Józef Turczyński. By Frederic Chopin. Chopin Complete Works. Book Only. Composed 2016. 152 pages. Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne #PWMVIII. Published by Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne (BT.PWMVIII). English.In his polonaises Chopin takes on the tradition of a genre recently endowed with the function of national dance. Three childhood polonaises constitute a replica of the model of the functional dance, while each of the later works of this genre has its own character: lyric, dramatic or heroic. Tied into the interpretations were subjects such as the struggle for freedom, the knightly and insurgent traditions and sometimes they came to have a symbolic function in Polish history. These works were edited by by I. J. Paderewski, L. Bronarski and J. Turczy ski.
