ExclusiveChopin: Mazurka in C major, Op. 7 no. 5

【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Frédéric Chopin: Mazurka in C major, Op. 7 no. 5. This beautiful piece was played by Christoph Zbinden. It has common licence (CC BY 3.0 Attribution 3.0 Unported), and is provided through musopen.org.

The mazurka is a Polish folk dance in 3/4 time. The first "composed" examples date back to the mid-18th century. It became a symbol of Polish patriotism, expressing the indomitable Polish spirit.

Chopin's mazurkas are "not meant to be danced", as he himself declared. These highly artistic, harmonically complex miniatures express deeper human emotions such as joy and exultation, as well as melancholy and despair. Chopin wrote them throughout his lifetime, from his early sketches to his more sophisticated later works.
