This piece is identified in the sources as Kurpiński’s “Polonais variés, or Variations on Polish Songs.” It belongs to his body of works based on national material, which was very important to the composer’s style, as he often drew on Polish folk dances and melodies. It is a good example of his approach to composing “national” music even before Moniuszko.
