One of the most important national dances of Poland, the polonaise's majestic and ceremonial character allowed Chopin to express his own patriotism. This volume contains the 16 polonaises Chopin is known to have written, including six youthful works that were published posthumously. All are clearly engraved with footnoted commentary as needed. Pianists familiar with the famous "Military Polonaise" will want to explore the additional masterpieces in this collection. The comb binding creates a lay-flat book that is perfect for study and performance.

Debussy confidently wrote to his publisher Jacques Durand in August 1905:
“I believe – without unwarranted vanity – that these three pieces will prove to be good and that they will take a prominent place in the literature of piano music … to the left of Schumann or to the right of Chopin … as you like it”. Debussy’s “Images”, already popular during Debussy’s lifetime, delight with their iridescent tone colour and dazzling harmonies “which reflect the newest discoveries in harmonic chemistry”.
