I used to play that polonaise back in my younger days when I could still play. Then work and family got in the way and I had to give up piano for many years. Now that I am retired I am taking lessons again and trying to get my chops back, falling back to intermediate-level repertoire for now (although my teacher did assign me the quite difficult Chopin Op. 10 #8, reasoning that "wouldn't you rather work on that as an exercise than Pischna or Czerny etc.?" -- which I had to agree with!). Thanks for introducing me to that beautiful Mel Bonis piece, that is a new composer for me. I love exploring new repertoire. And I envy you the chance to play with other instrumentalists.
