Chopin: Polonaises

   
Audio example
 
Polonaise in A major, Op.40, No.1
In Chopin's polonaises (some of his most famous works) the insistent rhythm of the Polish dance is a central figure. In this example, you can hear it as the main theme of the second section, as it leads back to the more familiar first theme.
