This Polonaise aims to convey a sense of direction. The following is an example.

  • Measures 1-4: Crescendo the three chords in measure 1 towards the second beat of measure 2, reaching it on the second beat. Measures 3-4 should gradually diminuendo.
  • Measures 5-8: Make measure 6 louder than measure 5, reaching measure 7, which is the goal measure, and then decrease the volume from there.
  • Measures 9-16 should be approached in the same way as measures 1-8. However, since it modulates to D major, the tension might be higher than in the preceding G major (though the opposite is also acceptable).
  • Measures 17-20: This is a two-measure descending sequence. Play measures 19-20 more softly than measures 17-18.
  • Measures 21-22 are identical, so differentiate them with dynamics, etc.
  • Measures 25-28 are exactly the same as measures 5-8. Establish the sense of direction towards measure 27.
