🇵🇱Frederic Chopin ： Mazurka no.36 cis-moll Op.56-4

This mazurka builds on a light sense of dance-like motion, while its nuanced melody and changing harmonies deepen the expressive shading. Listening to the exchange of short phrases and the shifts in character from one passage to another reveals a variety of moods within its compact design. In performance, it is important to maintain a clear rhythmic center and the characteristic accents of the mazurka, while allowing flexibility in shaping the melody. Ornaments should not be played mechanically; attention to their connection with the surrounding notes, together with carefully controlled pedaling that avoids clouding the sound, brings out the work’s delicate nuances.
