Pick Karl-Heinz, Polonaise

The six-handed Polonaise for piano was composed in 1988 and celebrated its premiere in the same year. It was introduced to the public during an Assembly for Chamber Music of the Music Academies of East Germany in Magdeburg.

The instrumentalists were piano students from the Georg-Philipp Telemann Academy of Music, which had authorized the composition. In the Polonaise the practical experience gained from the performance of the earlier composition “Suite zu dritt” could effectively be put into practice.

The relationship to Chopin is apparent as the characteristic theme of his famous A-major Polonaise appears as a short “quotation” in the six-handed version.
