Description

Chopin composed more than 55 mazurkas, intimate tone-poems inspired by Polish folk dances, between1824 and 1849. These Mazurkas present technical challenges which include leaps, double notes, trills, chords and octaves in addition to the expressive demands of voicing, balance, irregular accents and complex dance rhythms. Mary Moran will discuss these and other considerations using examples from mazurkas of all levels of difficulty.
