Description: In 1843, Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849) composed the well-loved and technically challenging POLONAISE in A-flat Major, Op. 53. Its subtitle “Heroic” has its origin in a letter by George Sand in which she declared that the spirit evidenced in the work was the same as that of the French Revolution. The Polish-American pianist Arthur Rubinstein glowingly referred to it as the composition that was nearest to his heart. Reprint of this Karl Müller-Berghaus edition. Instruments: 2+Picc.2.2.2: 4.2.3.1: Timp.Perc(2): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).
