和大家分享我最爱的曲子之一： Chopin Grande Polonaise Brillante op.22
The Polonaise Op. 22 is a work for piano and orchestra, although the piano part is often played on its own.This is usually considered to be Chopin's most difficult piece for piano, and one of the most difficult pieces written. Conjoined in performance, these works were born five years apart. The Andante Spianato (even or smooth) was composed for solo piano after Chopin received a long-awaited invitation to perform in one of Habaneck’s Conservatoire Concerts in Paris. It was premiered by the composer there on April 26, 1835.
Chopin’s first work, written at age seven, had been a polonaise. The Grande Polonaise of 1830–31 was to be the last such he would compose for several years. It was designed for piano and orchestra, and preoccupied Chopin in his final months at Warsaw. It was finished at Vienna in 1831. The Andante and Grande Polonaise were performed together in 1835, and published together a year later.
The Andante Spianato is in G major, and its quiet rippling effects are borne in a gentle 6/8, rounded with a chordal trio in C major, and a more processional 3/4.
The Grande Polonaise opens in fanfare. It moves into the ebullient and fearless dance form of which he was such a master. Chopin’s unexpected and brief excursions, the many electric shocks of surprise and alarm, and the sheer poetic gusto with which he approached these materials was astonishing and, for years, unequalled. In 1836 it became a piano quartet and, two years later, the solo piano work known today.
Consequently the polonaise has been regarded as one of the most famous and brilliant polonaise pieces.

The Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23 is the first of PolishcomposerFrédéric Chopin's four ballades for piano solo. It was composed in 1835-36 during the composer's early days in Paris, and is dedicated to "Monsieur le Baron de Stockhausen," Hanoverian ambassador to France.
Chopin cited the poet Adam Mickiewicz as an influence for his ballades (this according to a rumour based on a remark by Robert Schumann concerning the genesis of Chopin's second ballade). The exact inspiration for each piece is not clear.
The music is built from two main themes, the first being introduced in bar 7 after the short introduction, and the second in bar 69. Both themes return in different guises. The piece is in compound duple time (6/4) except for the short introduction (in 4/4) and the coda (in 2/2). Sections of the piece are technically demanding, requiring complex fingering, wide chords, octaves, extremely fast chords, and even a section of chromatic chords near the end. Its complex structure combines ideas from sonata and variation forms.
Schumann wrote in a letter to Heinrich Dorn about the Ballade, "I received a new Ballade from Chopin. It seems to be a work closest to his genius (although not the most ingenious) and I told him that I like it best of all his compositions. After quite a lengthy silence he replied with emphasis, 'I am happy to hear this since I too like it most and hold it dearest.'"
In the coda (Presto con fuoco) there is a passage which is very similar (possibly intentionally) to one in the third movement of Beethoven's Sonata No. 23 "Appassionata".

Fantasie Impromptu的Theme后的两个小节的Up and Down Running notes竟然与Moonlight Sonata的第三乐章Presto Agitato的Cadenza一样的Notes。
