Poland's most famous and patriotic dance bears
a French name, as well as the Polonaises most famous composer, Chopin. Chopin
got it from his father, the dance, in its modern manifestation, from its
godmothers; three French princesses of the 17th century who married successive
Polish kings. Chopin's first composition was a Polonaise, his last a Mazurka,
closing the circle and few have achieved greater or more lasting popularity than
the mature Polonaises as his op.53 in A-flat major.
