Chopin - Mazurkas, op.24
on: September 06, 2018, 11:48:48 AM
this from a live performance, the four mazurkas op.24, the most famous being no.4 in b-flat minor. i also love no.2 in C. there's an alternate version of one of the final bars in no.2, before the parallel fifths return, that i didn't learn but is stuck in my ear, and you get it halfway here. whatever. enjoy
