Recording by Ashkenazy
I looked up "mazurka" on Wikipedia because I wasn't sure exactly what it meant. "The mazurka (in Polish, mazurek). Polish folk dance in triple meter, usually at a lively tempo, and with an accent on the second or third beat."
This mazurka was not at a lively tempo (I don't think) and it doesn't seem like you could dance to it. Sometimes I wonder about those Polish people...Actually, on a serious note, the melody of this mazurka cuts quite deep. Chopin definitely was inspired. As usual, every note seems like it is in its proper place.
