F. Chopin - Polonaise Op. 40 no. 1 in A major 'Military'

F. Chopin - Polonaise Op. 40 no. 1 in A major 'Military' Performed by Aya Higuchi. Like the mazurka, the polonaise is a national Polish genre. Many composers turned to him, and not only Polish (Mozart, Bach, Glinka), from Chopin's compatriots - Wieniawski, Oginsky. Unlike the mazurka, the origin of the polonaise is not connected with the people, but with the aristocratic environment, this is an old ceremonial procession of the Polish nobility, of a very solemn, ceremonial nature. The polonaise is related to the mazurka by the feeling of patriotism. Through the polonaise, the composer glorified his homeland, recalling its former greatness and dreaming of a future, free Poland. Chopin wrote his first polonaises as a child, they were published posthumously. #chopin #polonaise #piano --------------------------------------------- If you need help finding sheet music or want to help the channel🙏, you can become a sponsor of my YouTube channel “Listen to Musical Notes“ at
