- Chopin Polonaise in A flat Major Op 53 (Heroic)
-
- This polonaise was a favorite encore for pianists Vladimir
- Horowitz and Artur Rubinstein.
-
- It is in Rondo form with the beginning theme returning after
- two contrasting middle sections. The second middle section has
- continuos octaves in the left hand and sounds like horses in
- a cavalary brigade.
-
- I played this on a Yamaha Clavinova and it should be played
- on a similar digital sampling piano or synthesizer with plenty
- reverb for best effect. I have set the patch for grand piano.
-
- I hope you enjoy this piece. I have tried to make it sound
- like the way Rubinstein and Horowitz used to play it.
