Which of the Mazurkas is your favorite?
1. Op. 56 No. 1: Beautiful opening progressions that return chromatically in the finale, spontaneous runs, I just love it.
2. Op. 56 No. 3: This one might be one of the deepest of the Mazurkas, which are generally pretty light, and this also does a great job of breaking out and not just staying in minor the entire time.
3. Op. 50 No. 1: Amazing rhythmic motif that carries on vivaciously the whole time.

For an entire opus, Op. 24 is another great set (besides 56).
last 3 schubert sonatas and piano trios are something else
