That's an oddly specific request, why do you need it?

A few that has a sequence that repeats more than once in the melody line:
f sharp minor op 6 no. 1
a minor op 17 no 4 sort of maybe?
b flat minor op 24 no 4 sort of?
B major op 56 no 1

The GCSE spec just came out for the briefed composition, and I love the Chopin Mazurkas, and really enjoy imitating them in my compositions. I just wanted some inspiration really, and one of the main conditions is a sequence in the melody line, which I couldn't work out how to fit in to the style.

Thank you very much for this - it'll be a great help!!
