Richard
Wagner's
Polonaise for Piano, edited by
Arthur D. Walker.
Editorial note:
This Polonaise and
Trio in D major for Piano
solo was probably written
as an excercise when
Wagner was studying under
Theodor Weinlig in
1830.
Wagner
described to Edward
Dannreuther much later in
his life the teaching
methods of Weinlig (Grove
I, iv, 347; Musical
Times, January 1973, Page
26) The pencil
corrections on the
autograph, part of which
is reproduced in the
above-mentioned issue of
The Musical Times, may be
in Weinlig's hand. The
Polonaise was rejected by
Wagner, the Trio
transformed into a Piano
duet, and a new Polonaise
for Piano duetwas
composed.
