Polonaise-Fantaisie in A-flat major, Op. 61

Slow arpeggios and chords make up the introduction, and the polonaise theme (A) rises gradually from it. An episode follows, and the theme returns. Part II begins with a new idea, B1. The slow-section theme (C) arrives in B major, and later returns. The introduction is recalled, and a transition prepares the finale. In Part III the polonaise theme returns and then the slow theme, both in a triumphant, apotheosis-like form.
