    The extended form of Chopin's Polonaise-Fantasie does nothing to compromise the abundant lyricism that made of Chopin a household name. Like two of his other late works, the Sonata in B minor and the Barcarolle, the Polonaise-Fantasie's essentially Slavic character yields to the rarefied French sensibility that informs it. Its imaginative power and sweep give compelling voice to its narrative structure. The rhapsodic envelope and elaborate, intertwining textures that give it its shape anticipate Scriabin's contrapuntal exoticism more than 50 years later. The Polonaise-Fantasie is intense and radiant. For those who want to immerse themselves in more of Chopin's opulent music, have a listen to his other works on this site, such as the blistering, larger-than-life SCHERZO IN B MINOR; the enchanting, aometimes heartbreaking and glittering WALTZES; The whirlwind finale (4th movement) of the SOMATA IN B MINOR; and to the elegant and songful BARCAROLLE, inspired by romance, Venice and opera!
