Notes
The Mazurkas, Op. 7 are a set of five mazurkas by Frédéric Chopin. The mazurkas were mostly written in 1830–1831 and were published in 1832.
The first mazurka, set in B-flat major and marked Vivace, is the most well-known mazurka of the set and perhaps, one of Chopin’s most popular mazurkas in general. The second mazurka of the set, A minor is an intimate piece. Despite the Vivo, ma non troppo marking, the mazurka has a slow tempo with a very delicate and melancholy main theme. The third mazurka, in F minor, has a folkish and rustic atmosphere.
