Classical Music Library Free Download of the Week: Chopin’s Polonaise in F sharp minor, Op. 44
From the Alexander Street Press site:
“The Polonaise has its origins in several Polish folk dances. By the eighteenth century, the stylised Polonaise used by composers had acquired its defining characteristics: triple time, moderate tempo, repetition of rhythmic figures, and a lack of upbeats. Chopin was the greatest composer of polonaises and the Op. 44 Polonaise is one of his best.
Composed in 1840-1, Op. 44 begins to break down the strict ternary form of the earlier polonaises, and anticipates the later hybrid Polonaise-fantasie.
This recording is performed by France Clidat, piano. “

Sometimes your professor might qualify an assignment with instructions to use only scholarly sources. This is especially true when working with articles. The terms “peer-reviewed” and “refereed” mean that a panel of distinguished peers in a particular field have read the articles contained in a particular journal in that field and have decided that they are of high scholarship and are supported by appropriate research.
The Library has a handout that helps to better illustrate the differences between “scholarly” and “popular” sources. Check it out at:
