Polonaise de Concert in D major, Op. 4

A four-bar introduction leads to the bold, eight-bar refrain, the theme the whole piece keeps coming back to. It returns three times. In between come the three episodes. They are more lyrical but full of technical display: harmonics, double stops, leaps and broken chords in dotted rhythm. Two transitions move the music on, and the coda is a virtuoso finish.
