This piece is dedicated to Countess Alexandrine de Moriolles.

Written in F major and marked Vivace, this rondo begins with a four-bar introduction in 3/4 time. The rondo theme is played a total of three times. As explicitly stated in the title, the rondo theme possesses the character of a mazurka, a type of Polish folk dance. This theme is characterized by the Lydian mode and evokes the atmosphere of a mazur, a type of mazurka. The secondary theme, inserted into this main theme, is characterized by repeated triplet figures and similarly evokes the atmosphere of an oberek, another type of mazurka.

Writer: Saitoh, Noriko
