Remarks

This was after the Polonaise in 1871 French German War written and the founding of the German Empire and the new German Emperor Wilhelm I paid. That is why the work was now called Kaiser Wilhelm Polonaise . The work was very demanding and was rarely played afterwards.

The playing time on the CD listed under individual records is 8 minutes and 37 seconds. This time can vary somewhat depending on the conductor's musical conception.
