Frédéric Chopin: Mazurkas The Mazurka is a Polish dance in triple time. Its name is derived from the word mazur, which refers to an inhabitant of the Mazovia region in Poland. A typical, basic mazurka rhythm consists of two quavers followed by two crotchets, with an accent on the second or third beat.
Chopin’s Mazurkas (which also include elements of two other Polish national dances, the slow Kujawiak and the fast Oberek) were written during the whole span of his career, and illustrate better than any other of his works his aim of expressing the Polish spirit. Chopin here pursues some of his most audacious and novel ideas in terms of harmony and melody.
Liszt remarked that "to do justice to the mazurkas, one would have to harness a new pianist of the first rank to each one of them".

Hi I'm new to these pieces I haven't heard them properly yet, need to buy a cd of them! Anyway what are the easiest ones to play? Roughly what level do you need to be at to play them? I wouldn't mind having a look at some to see if I could give any ago, even though I'm a beginner of 12 months and this may be out of my depth  .
Thanks

| What customers said about pianostreet.com: |
"All of my students are members of Pianostreet and many of my teacher colleagues have joined as well.
It is an excellent resource for students and teachers alike and there is very rarely any need to visit another website or music store in search of sheet music."

"As a frequent user of pianostreet.com I find it easy to navigate, great value for money and very professional. The pieces are all well-graded and the audio is really useful, especially for pieces not heard before. I have recommended the site to many of my friends who play the piano. Keep up the good work."
Paul, Llansannan, UK. |

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
