    Default Ogiński's Polonaise

    Here is my arrangement of Polonaise No.13 “Pożegnanie Ojczyzny” in A minor ("Farewell to the Fatherland" or "Les adieux ŕ la Patrie") by Michał Kleofas Ogiński (1765–1833) also known as Ogiński's Polonaise. This one of the most famous Polish polonaises, especially those from the pre-Chopin era, also this piece can be considered among the earliest examples of romantic music.

    Another beautifully played offering, Toomas. Your hybrid picking style really suits the tunes you select, and the tone from your mandolin is always so clean and clear.
