Polonaises (Chopin)

Most of Frédéric Chopin's polonaises were written for solo piano.

He wrote his first polonaise in 1817, when he was 7; his last was the Polonaise-Fantaisie of 1846, three years before his death.

There is also the Andante spianato et grande polonaise brillante in E♭, Op.

22, for piano and orchestra, which also exists in a solo piano version; and the Introduction and Polonaise brillante in C major, Op.

Chopin wrote at least 23 polonaises for piano solo.
