Beautiful pieces ad what a fabulous interpretation of the Polonaise!! Bravo! Listening to these reminds me of Bortkiewicz/s own words - he was a Romantic melodist and not a modern composer. bWe can all be supremely grateful for that! Bortkiewicz is like Chopin in that he is enjoyed by the pianist, listener and other composers.
Indeed, Polonaise has some affinity with Fa# min from Frederic Chopin. However, it's quite a personnal work from Bortkiewicz. Moreover, because of its well typical rythm, a polonaise has sometimes a lack of originality. And Bortkiewicz gave us very good melodies.
I found it on IMSLP, but I always clean up the frames while making the videos as much as I can. So, unfortunately, what you see on IMSLP is probably the best you can find.
As an old man of 87 I am so glad I finally discovered his beautiful music. Thank you for making this available.

Thank You!😊
I would definitely put this on my list of things I'd play if I could. Thank you for the upload and composer biography
Thanks a lot for the upload. Can't get enough of Bortkiewicz.
This set of pieces seems heavily influenced by Chopin! Number 3 bears a striking resemblance to Chopin's Op. 44 Polonaise!
And the B section of chopin's scherzo no4!

A part, before A maj section, is close to central section of Chopin's last scherzo...
Excuse me where did you find the sheet for this? The version on IMSLP is in worse quality sadly

La polacca un po' troppo simile a quella op 44 di chopin
