4 Polonaises (Clara Schumann)

Quatre Polonaises pour le pianoforte by Clara Schumann was published in 1831, and is labeled as opus 1.

[1][2] A work labeled as a "Polonaise" exhibits musical characteristics evoking the Polish dance form by the same (French-labeled) name.

A 3/4 time signature setting is primary among these musical characteristics, and these four pieces by Clara Schumann are all in 3/4.

The Quatre Polonaises were recorded by Jozef De Beenhouwer for the Classic Produktion Osnabrück label in 2001 as part of Clara Schumann: Complete Piano Works (cpo 9997582).

Also Italian pianist Angela Tirino recorded these polonaises for the 2022 album The Young Clara: Piano Works (Urania).
