Mazurkas

Probably Because Of Its Folkloristic Elements, Chopin Clearly Preferred The Mazurka To Other Forms. With Few Exceptions, Such As The F Major Mazurka, Op. 68, No. 3, He Did Not Use Well Known Popular Melodies, But Rather Sought Inspiration From The Rhythmic Melodic Elements Of Polish Folkdances, The Oberek, The Mazur, And The Kujawiak. From Chopin's Own Remarks About The Op. 6 Mazurkas, It Is Clear That His Mazurkas Are In A Stylized Dance Form And Are 'Not For Dancing' Editor: Ewald Zimmermann, Fingering: Hans Martin Theopold. Later Intermediate To Advanced Level.
