Not to rain on Chopin's or Bach's parade, but discussing the polonaise without mentioning Pożegnanie Ojczyzny by Oginski is like discussing baking without mentioning flour.

It is because of Chopin only that I plan on learning the Polish language. I hope I have a great time learning how to speak it and write it, and just learning the language in general overall. Wish me luck!

Good luck :) Lots of love from Poland! ❤️

I though the Chopin's Polonaise in A-Flat (heroic) was the most well-known?

@seine3985 5 лет назад

AiAiTheMonkey That’s actually a sonata.

@alfiedobres 5 лет назад

I think it does technically qualify as a polonaise but it is not a great piece to demonstrate a polonaise with as it is very much on the border of classification. Still a great piece of music though.

Hi, I am from Poland and I must say that we Adore Chopin and polonaises ( Polonezy): Polonez one 5 traditional polish dances and we dance it during a special period called studniówka. It is a celebration party100 days before matura exams in high school , when you are 18. We dance Wojciech Kilar polonaise or "pożegnanie ojczyzny" . It is a very special time and it is very long tradition

@PianotvNet 7 лет назад

Thanks for this!

Yeah, I think this is somewhat lost in the video: polonaise is a DANCE, and a court dance at that. It would be nice if the video included a short clip or two of the basic figures (couples in line walking the "long step, two short steps" combination) to get a feel of what it is like. Chopin's polonaises are transformative, they are not really meant to be danced to anymore (which was a theme in his work, he also often took folk motives like mazurka and run with it to create something much elavated and complex). If you want a modern version of a polonaise composed as a dance check abovemnetioned Wojciech Kilar's polonaise written for the Pan Tadeusz movie (which was an adaptation of the Polish national epic poem).

Got some heroic polonaise in the background

@thereyougoagain1280 4 года назад

It’s the military polonaise

@MrOdrzut 6 лет назад

Every Polish prom (studniówka - a huge dancing party 100 days before the final exams in the high school) starts with students dancing a polonaise in couples, it's a tradition. That's how I noticed a lot of instrumental music has similar form (because students like to choose nonobvious songs for that opening dance). For example you can easily dance polonaise to Jean Michel Jarre "Conquest of Paradise" :) In Poland the most famous polonaise is probably "Polonez Ogińskiego": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DZdiY1pTaR4.html There's also of course "Heroic Polonez" by Chopin.

Thanks for the great video, your work is highly appreciated!

@rskb1957 Год назад

Similar in many ways to how the Chaconne dance form was used by baroque composers; so many but still recognisable.

@aayyiss 6 лет назад

you may like the idea of doing a video on mazurkas (just saying).

@Joeydoesmedicine 5 лет назад

Neat. Watching because i'm about to learn no.11 and no.12 by Chopin. no.12 sounds sooooooooooooooooo good.

@Greennovacaine 2 года назад

Hi, thanks for such a beautiful video. BTW, theres this movie called "Pan Tadeusz" where you can see a scene where a court dances with one of the most famous polonaise for Polish people. I really love Polish culture

@bluesdog3621 5 лет назад

Is _Polonaise_ an instrument?

@suziecoolin3893 6 лет назад

Arguably the most beautiful Polonaise is Polonaise a-moll by Michal Oginski "Pozegnanie Ojczyzny" ("A Farewell to the Homeland". You can listen to this exceptional piece of music at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4mWm-3iehwI.html

@morovejsloup2691 2 года назад

please, do a whole video just about Chopin's polonaises

@ashtonchan7587 4 года назад

Not forgetting Polonaise by Wieniawski

@hotelinjapan389 6 лет назад

Can you do a video on the mazurka?

@RogerLino 5 лет назад

I was told a while ago by one of my piano teachers that songs have lyrics, therefore a Classical Piece or Classical Composition can't be called "Song". Great video though!

@serenesiewhm9408 6 лет назад

You din't add the Polonaise op.53 no.6

@sandygennerella2892 3 года назад

I have been watching many of the polonaise , are the young people from prep schools, wealthy families or regular kids who chose to dance this style?

@mariehope5100 3 года назад

I didn't know that we have smth like "chmielowy" dance 😅 i think you meant "goniony" dance bc "chmiel" is this thing you make beer from. Love from Poland ❤️

@sylwiatime 2 года назад

Yes, we do have chmielowy although it is pretty much the same dance.

@Gguy061 6 лет назад

Would you say a polonaise would be conducted in a slow beat in one, given the emphasis on the first beat?

@bloemundude 5 лет назад

You dreamed a Liebestraum of Polonaise.

@tteerabeats9116 3 года назад

Nice

@zegaoyi 2 года назад

isn't chopin's _Andante spianato et Grande Polonaise Brilliante in E-flat major Op. 22_ or _Polonaise in A flat major Op. 53_ more famous than the "Military polonaise"?

@johnmac8084 8 лет назад

Great, very informative, thanks. Just trying to broaden my listening from mainly blues & rock guitar. Silly me, I thought Chopin was French, seeing as he had a French name & he lived in France :-)

@Petterson515 8 лет назад

Actually, he has a polish name: Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin. "Frédéric" just appeard when he moved to France with his family.

@johnmac8084 8 лет назад

I see, but the surname, Chopin, that's French isn't it?

@AlatarIstari 8 лет назад

His father was Frenchman teaching in Poland, his mother was Polish. First half his life Chopin spent in Poland.

@artygracja2097 7 лет назад

It is not a case of genes, it is a case of music. Chopin's music is 100 % taken from Polish folk music and hearts. That is why it makes him Polish composer and he was also Polish patriot. It must be also said that those era Poland does not existed on a map. Country was divided in 3 pieces among Prussia, Russia and Austria for 123 years.

@POLMAZURKA 3 года назад

dance...

@kalasancjagzik-papiezanka2078 6 лет назад

It is a beautiful elegant and proud Polish national dance that comes from the Polish nobility and aristocracy. Every ball in noble Poland began with this dance. The communists and the Bolsheviks stole Poland not only the eastern lands, but also a lot of Polish national haritage.

@ugrasdurmus8704 7 лет назад

Why do many people pronounce BACH with K sound... ? in English language H sound exists (unlike French)... please do not hesitate to use that :) on the other hand if you (those pronounce in that way) you say "well it is a german word and I am not a German, so I pronounce that according to English language" .... then please pronounce that like BACK... not with open A sound... thanks...
