Mazurkas, Op. 24 (Chopin)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Op. 24 mazurkas by Frédéric Chopin were published in 1835, when the composer was 25 years old[1].
Mazurka in C major, Op. 24 No. 2
The second mazurka of the set is in C major with a tempo marking of Allegro non troppo, opening with a quiet alternation of C and G major sotto voce chords.[3] The trio is in D♭ major. The trio is closed by using repeated notes, generally open fifths.[4] The piece is also notable for its vague yet distinctly diatonic harmony, as the opening 56 bars of the piece do not feature a single accidental.[5]
Mazurka in A♭ major, Op. 24 No. 3
The third mazurka of the set is in A♭ major, with a tempo marking of Moderato non Troppo.
