Fantasia on Polish Airs and Other Works for Piano and Orchestra

"Hats off, gentlemen! A genius!" Such was Robert Schumann's glowing tribute to Chopin for his newly arrived Opus 2 — the sparkling Variations on Mozart's "Là ci darem la mano." Now this lively work for piano and orchestra joins Chopin's equally scintillating Fantasia on Polish Airs, Op. 13, and Krakowiak: Rondo for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 14, in a single volume devoted to three of the great Polish composer's major compositions. From Vol. 12 of Breitkopf & Härtel's Complete Works Edition, 1878–80.
