Unlike his close contemporaries Schumann and Liszt, Chopin was not prone to
putting his innermost thoughts and emotions on display for general public
consumption; doing so was aesthetically alien to his nature. Not for him were
the conflicts of Florestan and Eusebius, so eloquently portrayed in the troubled
Schumann’s compositions, or the Faustian dilemma ever-present in
Liszt’s outpourings. No, Chopin kept his feelings close to his heart and
most definitely not on his sleeve. He was only reluctantly a participant in the
Romantic Era, but in spite of his personal reticence, the feelings of this
tragic genius eventually found their way into his compositions, and nowhere more
so than in his mazurkas.

Through the mazurkas the essence of Chopin is revealed. In these compositions we
find him at his most original and daring, and in them he ranges over the widest
possible spectrum of emotion and pianistic color. Chopin did not invent the
mazurka. A 16th-century peasant dance originating in the province of Mazowsze in
Poland and accompanied usually by the dudy (a bagpipe), the mazurka had a
delightfully syncopated rhythm in 3/4 time and could be either sung o danced.
Originally, mazurkas comprised three kinds of folk dance: the fast accented
oberek, the elusive kujawiak (the predecessor of what we know as mazurka form),
and the mazur, filled with Slavic sentiment and zal— a unique Polish word
describing nostalgia verging on despair.

By the early 19th century, the mazurka dance form had spread across Europe,
reaching both Paris — where it was much appreciated by the
aristocracy—and England.
