Chopin Mazur???!?!

[mjames]

IMSLP mentions it but no sheet music, having a hard time finding any other references to it..let alone the sheet music.

Questions:
1. Is it his
2. Is it complete
3. Where can I get the music

Hi Mjames.  I don't know much about Chopin.  Here are a couple questions I have for you:

1. Can you provide a link to where IMSLP mentions this work?
2. How did you come by this youtube recording?  It is not labeled to indicate what it is.  It appears to be in d minor. I could see someone composing a small excerpt in the style of Chopin.

Thanks.

posthumous works without opus numbers, no. 9 "Mazur in G"

The only other I work I know of with "Mazur" in the title is the one I'm working on, rondo a la mazur. Never heard of this of one before, but yeah it might not even be Chopin's.

This is weird.  Maybe a Chopin expert can explain. Here is link to Wikipedia list of Mazurkas:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazurkas_(Chopin)
Toward the bottom you will see a d minor Mazurka listed.  It has some kind of KK number.  I see no other listed in d minor.

Here is a link to a Mazurka played in youtube and listed as mazurka in d minor:

It sounds kind of familiar to me.  Is it mislabeled?  YES.  IT IS IN G MINOR.

The problem with small excerpts is they can easily be by someone writing in the style of and getting close to the sound (a fake).  This excerpt maybe sounds a little "off" to me.  A larger excerpt would reveal a lot more.

Sorry I can't help more. See what others say.

EDIT: the complete d minor Mazurka in youtube link above was mislabeled.  It is the g minor mazurka.

The "Mazur" excerpt you show is in d minor.

That's op. 67 no. 2 in g minor. Lol, nevermind you edited.

I know what key the excerpt is in, what I was saying that the only place with a reference to a solo piece titled "Mazur" by Chopin (asides from Op. 5) is in IMSLP, and it's in g. For all I know they could be two completely different pieces... XD oh well

Thanks!  I just figured that out myself and edited my post.

I agree.  The person who posted the excerpt knows (I am guessing).  I wonder why he/she did not give more info?  Can we even trust it is called "Mazur"?  It is a mystery!!!!

Sorry I couldn't help more.

I got it!!!  Check it out and see if you agree. It is KK VIIb/7-8.
