Frederic Chopin ： Mazurka no.56 As-Dur KK.IIa/6

This mazurka is shaped by a dance-like triple-meter pulse, bringing together light movement and a singing melodic line. In addition to the natural lyricism of the melody, the shifting pulse and placement of accents in the left-hand accompaniment are important points to hear. When similar figures return, avoid repeating them mechanically; vary the dynamics and tone color to give the musical flow greater expression. Rather than stressing every downbeat, shape the melody by identifying the peaks and cadences of each phrase and maintaining a natural sense of breath. Preserve the buoyancy of the dance without rushing, and use the pedal sparingly enough to keep the resonance clear and the individual voices distinct.
