“
Polonaise
”
(1934)
Konstantin Korovin
________
cause the pickings are slim among the
shared musical formats between Mozart
and Chopin, Mozart, for instance,
composed eighteen piano sonatas to
Chopin’s mere three, Chopin’s
First
even having been
more or less
disregarded since
for being promising
maybe, but not at all
inspired, where
Mozart meanwhile also wrote 27 piano
concertos to Chopin’s only two, though
both, his, entirely mighty
Chopin, however, pretty well establishes
the nocturne, the scherzo,
the prelude,
the
étude,
the polonaise, the
mazurka
as musical forms, while Mozart
never
establishes a thing, apart from his own
supreme
talent
but here are a couple of fantasias that
they both share, Mozart’s
Fantasia
no 3 in D minor
, of four, Chopin’s
Polonaise-fantaisie in A-flat major
,
Opus 61
,
Chopin blending
here
his
fantaisie
to the beat of a
polonaise
,
a
dance form of his native Poland,
see above
listen for
trills
in
the Mozart
, which
admittedly show up only
near the
end of the piece, otherwise he
sounds
a lot like, I’ll admit, Chopin
listen for
arpeggios
in
the Chopin
a
f
ollow-up exercise
in
listening,
trills, notably,
up against
arpeggios
consider
,
enjoy
