2. Apr 22,  · Welcome to the forum, Butters. This polonaise is very challenging indeed - 11 minutes long and you're playing octaves for much of the time. The Mazurka section is very difficult to control, just like the rest of the piece. There's a narrative quality that I find in the F-sharp Minor Polonaise and to me it is of comparable quality to the ballades.
