Information

Essential Information About This Score
• Urtext edition faithful to the first editions, to recover Chopin's musical text with great reliability.
• Version designed for solo piano : the solo part is presented alone (and not in a two-stave reduction), as it is most often performed in concert.
• Brilliant and youthful writing : a polonaise full of momentum, from the same creative period as the piano concertos in E minor and F minor.
• Orchestral accompaniment indicated in small notes at the rare places where the piano pauses, to maintain the logic of the dialogue with the orchestra.

Summary of This Score

Preceded by an Andante in the form of a nocturne serving as an introduction, this polonaise (Op. 22) was originally conceived for piano and orchestra. With the orchestra playing essentially an accompanying role, the work naturally lends itself to solo piano performance, an option that has become the most common in concert. This urtext edition respects this usage and the spirit of the first publications: instead of a full orchestral reduction, it highlights the solo part, clear and immediately usable at the music stand. When the piano is briefly silent, the editor provides the orchestral accompaniment in small notes, a valuable guide to maintain the musical flow and understand the articulation of transitions. Ideal for enriching a recital program, working on Chopin's style (singing, rubato, brilliance), and approaching a major concert form with a presentation adapted to solo piano.
