🇷🇺Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky ： 18 Morceaux Polonaise de Concert in Es-Dur Op.72-7

Among Tchaikovsky’s piano works, this polonaise combines a brilliant theatrical character with elegance. A stately step shaped by dotted rhythms supports radiant melodies and rich chords, while recurring themes and contrasting passages create variety. In performance, it is important to maintain the characteristic polonaise rhythm clearly while preserving forward motion without becoming heavy. Bringing the melody out from the inner voices and accompaniment, and keeping chords and rapid passages even, allows the lyrical quality within the brilliance to emerge.
