About

The Polish dance, the Polonaise, found its way from village to ballroom and thence abroad. In Paris in 1830 Poland was in the news, with the attempted rising against Russia and its suppression, and things Polish enjoyed considerable popularity, a fact from which Frederic Chopin benefited on his arrival in the city. 
 
As with other relatively trivial dance forms, he was able to raise the Polonaise to a new level, imparting a degree of complexity and a degree of feeling that had not always been present in the work of his elders in Warsaw.
 
His first attempts at the form were at the age of seven and his last in 1846, three years before his death. Anyone wanting to take a peep into Chopin's workshop and observe his development should listen to the polonaises in the order in which they were composed.
 
Eugene Mursky won the first prize at the World Piano Competition in London in 1994 and has won a wide range of awards, including the prestigious Concours Grieg in Oslo in 2000, the Bremen Piano Competition in 2001 and the Denza Piano Competition in Naples in 2002.
