F. Chopin - Mazurka Op. 59 no. 3 in F sharp minor

F. - Op. 59 no. 13 in F sharp minor #classicalmusic Performed by Aaron Dunn. Mazurkas, Op. 59 are a set of three Mazurkas for solo piano by Frédéric Chopin. The set was composed and published in 1845. Mazurka in F-sharp minor, the final piece of the set, is referring to an oberek, a national Polish dance much faster than a mazurka. The piece begins with a memorable and powerful melody, the second theme is somewhat more joyful than the first. The left hand accompaniment of the piece experiments with descending chromatic harmonies, although this does not affect the melody which remains defined throughout the piece. An autograph manuscript housed at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York contains a complete draft of this Mazurka written in the key of G minor, dedicated to Ferdinand Hiller. --------------------------------------------- If you want to help the channel?, you can become a sponsor of my YouTube channel "Listen to Musical Notes" at the link: or make donations of any amount to the development of the project in Paypal: You can also click on the "$Thanks$" button under any of my videos.
