The deep bond with his country made the national component one of the fundamental themes of his poetics. A theme that, moreover, had always been present to the musician even before his exile without return, as evidenced by the numerous Polish folk motifs that are found in his early compositions from the Grand Concert Rondo known as Krakowiak, to the Great Polish brilliant in E flat. op. 22, to the Grande Fantasia on Polish folk melodies op. 13 which will take place this morning.
1. The brilliant Polonaise op. 3 for cello and piano dates back to Chopin's early years: it was composed in 1829-30, at the age of nineteen (to be exact, the Polonaise proper was written in 1829, while the Introduction lenta was added l 'following year). Chopin had just left the Higher School of Music in Warsaw, where he had studied with the then famous pianist and composer Elsner, and was facing a brilliant career as a virtuoso, in fact already begun with his trips to Berlin in 1828 and Vienna in 1829. However, it was in a concert held in Warsaw in 1830 with the cellist Kaczinski that the Polonaise op. 3 was presented to the public.
2. The Boléro, Op. 19, is a piano composition written by Fryderyk Chopin between 1830 and 1833 and published in 1834.
3. The Krakowiak was written in 1828. grande rondo da concerto is a composition by the maestro where the national element appears in its primitive freshness as in no other opera. Later, Chopin will no longer reproduce folk dances so faithfully.
4. It is a composition for piano and orchestra printed in April 1834, but composed, according to the most recent Chopinian criticism, in 1828. Three fundamental nuclei can be recognized in it: the first theme is that of an idyllic song, Laura and Philo, by Franciszek Karpinski, very popular and sung until the last years of the 18th century by both the Polish nobles and bourgeois; the second theme is taken from a melody by Karol Kurpinski, probably a simple transcription of a peasant song called Kolomyika (Ruthenian dance from the countryside of the city of Kolomea); the last part, finally, is a genuinely popular theme, also of peasant and dance derivation called «kujawiak».
