While Chopin often comes to mind when one thinks of mazurkas, Szymanowski's mazurkas are considered formally less straightforward and more complex than Chopin's. Within his geometrically precise and elegant music, the intriguing swaying rhythms of the mazurka are interspersed, imbuing it with a somewhat mysterious atmosphere. Phrases that do not begin on the strong beat, and the expression of ties, should also be approached with ingenuity. Perform while feeling the successive chromatic intervals that appear in the melody, the fluctuating mazurka rhythms, and the shifts in tempo.
