Composer since the age of seven, Chopin needs no introduction. A genius pianist, he forcedly lived in Paris for most of his life, but his compositions always have indelible Polish feel, influenced by folk motifs of his Motherland.
Chopin’s masterful piano miniatures are dramatically romantic, sincere and spiritual. Never before him was music that expressive. If it wasn’t for Chopin, polonaise and mazurka wouldn’t sound that poetic, there would be no such genre as a piano ballad and one of the craters on Mercury would stay nameless.
Introduction and Polonaise Brillante in C major, Op.3 is initially a composition for cello and piano. Luminously arranged by Carl Czerny for piano, it is available here:
