🇵🇱Frederic Chopin ： Mazurka no.4 Es-Dur Op.6-4

Within its concise design, this piece reveals the characteristic dance rhythm of the mazurka and Chopin’s delicate sense of flexibility. The simple, songful shaping of the main melody is enriched by changing harmonies and inner-voice movement, making it important to hear the contrasts between the short phrases. Rather than keeping the beats mechanically even, be aware of the placement of the accents while keeping the left-hand accompaniment light. Do not rush the ornaments or smaller note values in the right hand; let the phrases move naturally toward their peaks and treat the lingering resonance with care. The challenge and appeal lie in preserving the overall flow while bringing out the intimate character of the dance.
