What’s A Polonaise?  

Frédéric Chopin’s Polonaise in A-Flat Major, Op. 53, nicknamed the “Heroic” is—without question—one of the composer’s most well-known compositions. Inside Music host George Marriner Maull will explore some of the musical aspects of the work that make it so thrilling to listen to and so beloved by classical music fans. He will also touch on the polonaise (not to be confused with the culinary dressing mayonnaise!)—the Polish dance that became a musical form used by composers as a vehicle for expressing their musical ideas.
