Frederic Francois Chopin (1810–1849) - polish composer, pianist, teacher, one of the geniuses of musical romanticism. Chopin interpreted or “recreated” a number of musical genres in his own way: he created a romantic prelude and piano ballad, turned mazurka, polonaise, waltz, and scherzo into independent musical statements. Chopin is the author of many works for piano, 3 sonatas, 4 ballads, 4 scherzo, sketches, impromptu, nocturnes ...
Contemporaries were attracted to the composer by his appearance, his manner of communication:
Chopin introduced into society the evenness of the mood of people who are not bothered by concerns, who do not know the words “boredom,” and are not attached to any interests. Chopin was usually cheerful; his keen mind quickly sought out the funny even in such manifestations that not everyone catches the eye ...
Franz Liszt

Chopin turned to the Mazurka genre more often than to any other. The composer created about 60 mazurkas. Mazurka was a constant companion of his life, a “mirror of the soul” ... Chopin’s Mazurka grew out of three related Polish folk dances: Mazur, Mazovia folk dance, kuyavyak, Kuyavia folk dance, oberek, the more lively part of kuyavyak with an emphasis on the third part of the even bar.
The attention of musicians and students is invited to a series of publications - the works of Chopin edited by Karol Mikuli.
