Chopin Polonaise No. 2 in E-Flat Minor, Op. 26

Frédéric Chopin wrote his set of two Polonaises for solo piano, Op. 26, in 1836, and dedicated them to Josef Dessauer. Both pieces are considered to be considerably demanding in terms of technique and stamina. The first one, in particular, is often considered as one of Chopin's finest composition in the genre.
