ExclusiveChopin: Mazurkas, Op. 7: No. 2 In A Minor

【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Frederic Chopin: Mazurkas, Op. 7: No. 2 In A Minor. This beautiful piece was presented by germanrecords. It is a royalty free music from Pond5.com.

The second of the Opus 7 Mazurkas, composed in the key of A minor, brings music that is almost diametrically opposed to the music of the first. It is frail as a leaf, barely sketched, subtle and intimate. And at the same time graceful, maidenly naïve.

In the trio, a rocking kujawiak melody can be heard (in A major), composed in a particularly ingenuous and harmonious manner. It was not all at once that the A minor Mazurka acquired the form familiar to us today. In the album of Elsner’s daughter, Emilia, an earlier version was found, possessing an initial ritornel in the key of A major, taken from the music of a band of rural players, to which Chopin wrote the word Duda [Bagpipes]. It is perhaps just as well that in the final version this imitative accent was left out. Source: chopin.nifc.pl
