{"product_id":"henle-verlag-chopin-polonaise-op-53-piano-37866","title":"Chopin - Polonaise Op. 53 - Piano","description":"\u003ch3\u003eSummary of This Score\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Urtext edition offers a carefully prepared and documented version of Frédéric Chopin's \u003cstrong\u003eso-called \"Heroic\" Polonaise\u003c\/strong\u003e, a major work of the Romantic piano repertoire (Op. 53). Designed to meet the expectations of demanding pianists, it is based on a \u003cstrong\u003edetailed revision\u003c\/strong\u003e conducted by Norbert Müllemann, who compared the musical text with available sources to refine its coherence, readability, and musical relevance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe value of this publication lies as much in the quality of the text as in its editorial accompaniment. The \u003cstrong\u003epreface\u003c\/strong\u003e provides useful insight into the work and its transmission, while the \u003cstrong\u003efootnotes\u003c\/strong\u003e allow identification of certain variants or issues discussed by the sources. This contribution is valuable for interpretative work, especially regarding articulation, dynamics, phrasing, and Chopin's characteristic notational details.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA true \"showpiece,\" this Polonaise stands out for its assertive character and spectacular structure. The theme's \u003cstrong\u003emartial rhythm\u003c\/strong\u003e explains its nickname \"Heroic,\" and the central section is distinguished by its perilous \u003cstrong\u003eostinato octaves\u003c\/strong\u003e, requiring endurance, regularity, and sound control. An ideal score for pianists wishing to approach an iconic work with a reference text, suitable both for in-depth study and concert preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusical Genre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassical\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSheet music\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eFrédéric Chopin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePiano\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eUrtext (detailed revision, preface, and variant notes)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Henle Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54361411158291,"sku":"37866","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/a606408caebd7f6862a9f93682f3b1a578ee4847_MDS_HN960.jpg?v=1789444552","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/henle-verlag-chopin-f-polonaise-a-flat-major-op-53-oktaves-37866","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
