Mazurkas, Op. 56 (Chopin)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Op. 56 mazurkas by Frédéric Chopin are a set of three mazurkas written for solo piano and presumably written in 1843–1844 and published in 1844. A typical performance of all three mazurkas lasts around 12 minutes.[1]

Structure

[edit]

The 3 pieces are as follows:

  1. Allegro non tanto (B major)
  2. Vivace (C major)
  3. Moderato (C minor)

Op. 56 No. 1 in B major is notable for its major-third-related 5-part rondo structure (B major-E major-B major-G major-B major).
