Mazurkas, Op. 7 (Chopin)

Mazurkas, Op. 7 (Chopin)

The Mazurkas, Op. 7 are a set of five mazurkas by Frédéric Chopin. The mazurkas were written in 1830 – 1832. A typical performance of all five mazurkas takes about eleven minutes.

The first mazurka, sometimes also known as Mazurka No. 5, is in B-flat major. The tempo is marked Vivace and is perhaps the most well-known mazurka of the set.

The second mazurka is in A minor. Despite the Vivo, ma non troppo marking, the mazurka is usually slowly performed, and the main theme is relatively mild.

The third mazurka is in F minor, and the fourth mazurka is in A-flat major.

The fifth and final mazurka of the set is in C major, and is the shortest of the five, taking less than a minute to perform. It is known as a fine example of the composer's sense of humour.[1]
