ExclusiveChopin: Mazurkas, Op. 7: No. 1 In B-Flat Major

【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Frederic Chopin: Mazurkas, Op. 7: No. 1 In B-Flat Major. This beautiful piece was presented by germanrecords. It is a royalty free music from Pond5.com.

The Mazurkas op. 7 are a set of five mazurkas by Frédéric Chopin. Most of the mazurkas were written between 1830 and 1831 and published in 1832. This is the only set of 5 mazurkas by Chopin; all other published sets by the composer consist of either 3 or 4 mazurkas each. It is dedicated to Paul Emile Johns.

The first mazurka, in B flat major and marked Vivace, is the best known of the set and perhaps one of Chopin's most popular mazurkas in general. The piece is in rondo form, with a lively main theme characterised by rising and falling ninths. The second theme, in F major, is quite graceful and adds to the elegant character of the piece. After a recapitulation of the main theme, a third and much more subdued theme is introduced. It is tonally quite ambiguous and its mysterious mood is in complete contrast to the rest of the piece. The main theme returns one last time and the piece ends on a B-flat major chord marked forte. The performance lasts just under three minutes.
