The principal theme of Frederic Chopin's Grande Polonaise Brilliante in E-flat major, Op. 22 combines soaring flight with spirit and verve, bravura with elegance - all of those features that characterize a dance in the style brillant. As befits a composition in the brillant style, the work is rounded off with a dazzling, refulgent coda. The end result is a work in grand style, par excellence virtuosic. The piece is a magnificent example of the genre. Played with the utmost fluency, subtlety and sensitivity to the beauty of the sound, it achieves exemplary elegance, freedom, and freshness.
