I'm not sure what the question is, but I will try to guess what you mean:
The Polonaise in A-flat Major Opus 53 is one of Chopin's most famous works. Notice that it's just a Polonaise, not a Polonaise-Fantasy. You may be looking for the Polonaise-Fantaisie in A-flat Major, Opus 61; in which case I cannot help you.
This polonaise though, nicknamed the "Heroic Polonaise", was written in a somewhat freer manner than most Polonaises. But nonetheless it is one of the most popular Chopin pieces to date and is still widely played by amateurs and professionals alike (an example of the former being yours truly). The piece is difficult to play at best; a notable example being the b-flat melodic minor ascension scale, which trips me up at least. I can't speak for others. Then we have the E-major section in the middle where the left hand plays on octaves; in a word: the weakling's nightmare. I don't mean offense to anyone; but if your left hand isn't strong enough, you can forget about playing this song unless you have the dedication to keep working at it until you can play the section with appropriate quality (I still can't, so please don't call me a hypocrite....I'm just warning you beforehand, it's a very difficult thing to play).
Also, one must be careful to apply just enough rubato and not too much/too little to the song; in my opinion, Rafal Blechacz plays the song with just enough rubato, and Horowitz is an example of too little (though I'm sure I'm going to get flamed for this. PLEASE don't start screaming at me. I like Horowitz's playing too; I just think he could have used oh-so-slightly more rubato in his interpretation). Then if you look at some others, they use too much (I believe it was a Japanese person who did so in the International Chopin Competition).
Enough about rubato; the last thing to mention is persistence. Since I am a piano noob, it took me two years to get this song to the point where it is actually playable; I still have not mastered the middle E-major section on octaves and cannot play the song through without mistakes. I suspect you are not such a noob as I am; and so you will have much less difficulty.
Good luck!
