Chopin - Andante Spianato et Grande Polonaise Brillante

Andante spianato et Grande polonaise brillante in E-flat major, Op. 22, was composed by Frédéric Chopin between 1830 and 1834. The Grande polonaise brillante in E-flat, set for piano and orchestra, was written first, in 1830-31. In 1834, Chopin wrote an Andante spianato in G, for piano solo, which he added to the start of the piece, and joined the two parts with a fanfare-like sequence.
The Grande polonaise brillante is a work for piano and orchestra, although the piano part is often played on its own, as featured in this performance.
0:00 - Andante Spianato
4:08 - Grande Polonaise Brillante
Performed by Georgii Cherkin - piano
"Bulgaria Hall" 2009, Live performance.
The 2002 film "The Pianist" concludes with this polonaise.
The Grande polonaise brillante is among Chopin's most technically demanding pieces. Technical aspects include:
- fast descending thirds
- rapid, difficult octave and chord jumps
- trills with thirds
- quick scales
- fast arpeggios in both hands
- broken chords
- use of a wide range of the piano keyboard.

Perfectly piayed with different kinds of emotional expressons. Without the orchestra's interference, I am listening to your performance at it's best. It is nice to watch your fingers tackled the demanding parts of this piece especially, the fast arpeggios in both hands, quick scales, rapid difficult octaves. Your fingers moved so fast like the humming birds wings. Fantastic!!! Enjoyable. Thanks Georgii.
