THE ELYSÉE FIVE, from the Piccadilly Danse Salon
HALF Polish, half French by birth, Chopin had in his musical nature the pride and fire of the North, with French elegance and sophistication. In most of his Polonaises the chivalric, fiery element naturally predominates, and in the Valses he distilled the very essence of the dance. The Valse in A flat has an aristocratic air. Schumann said that if it were used for dancing, half the dancers, at least, ought to be Countesses !
