Fantasia on Polish Airs Op. 13, for piano and orchestra, Study score

Edición de / Edited by: Ekier, Jan

This calls up national feelings in a slightly sentimental way. The stile brillant appeared here not just in full bloom, but sweetens and even the folky Dumka has been transformed into a romanticising nocturne. The orchestra merely accompanies, providing the piano with an oneiric shell. Critical source-edition edited by Jan Ekier and Pawe?

Fantasia in authentic arrangement for one piano are to be found in volume 15 A XIVa, and the version with the piano arrangement in the volume ''Concert Works'' 32 B VII.
