All of the Polonaises included in the following volume were written during Chopins childhood and youthful years, through to the earliest of the Polonaises prepared personally for printing by the composer (op. 22 and 26). Both groups of Polonaises complement each other in a particular way, together giving an understandable cross-section of the whole of Chopins creativity from Polonaise B WN1, being his first surviving compositional attempt for the Polonaise-Fantasy op.61, which belongs to the group of masterpieces crowning his last creative period. The Polonaises prepared for print and published by Chopin are contained in a separate volume WN VI. The miniature version of the National Edition does not contain source commentary or performance notes.
