I want to know the answer to the following question:
How many polonaises were published while Chopin lived?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Chopin's mazurkas, while originating in the traditional Polish dance (the mazurek), differed from the traditional variety in that they were written for the concert hall rather than the dance hall; "it was Chopin who put the mazurka on the European musical map.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
