Re: Group 4
@Harriet Kaplan, depends on where you're talking about. Opening phrase the accents emphasize the perfect 5th (=bagpipes, hurdy-gurdy, drones) indicating that you should imagine the sound to the end…

@Marc M welcome! Op67 nr4 is a great starting point. I recommend listening to Fu Ts’ong’s recording of this mazurka, it’ll give you a feeling of how special it really is!…

Re: Group 1
@Yohan Georgekutty mazurkas that don’t require octaves are rare, but op6 nr4 in e flat minor would work if you leave out a repeated 8ve or two in the middle section. Same with op63 nr2 in f minor.

Re: Group 1
@Michael Dunning amazing piece of music. I recommend listening to others in c-sharp minor (op6 nr2, op63 nr3) to get an idea of how Chopin uses this key signature. Can’t wait to hear you play it!

Re: Group 1
@Paula Alizo what a beautiful choice, Chopin uses wonderful chromatic moments like flute playing at the cadences of op17 nr2. Listen to Ewa Poblocka’s recording; it’s gorgeous. Welcome back to piano!

Re: Group 1
@Monika Tusnady fantastic! Op. 17 nr. 4 was my first "big Mazurka" after learning op. 63. I recommend Carlo Zecchi's recording - it's wonderful. Can't wait to hear you play these!

@Andrea Buckland Op. 56 nr. 3 is the longest of the Chopin mazurkas: at 220 measures, it is longer than the 2nd ballade! Can't wait to hear you play with this intricate poem.

Re: Group 5
@Natalie Peh FYI Op. 7 nr. 2 is a surprisingly optimistic mazurka - look for the hints at this in the harmony of A theme. The Trio is a real mazurka dance party!
