Frédéric Chopin · 1810–1849
Mazurka C-Dur Op 24 Nr 2
Performed by Christoph Zbinden · 2:10
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.[2] The trio is in D-flat major. The trio is closed by using repeated notes, generally open fifths.[3] 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.
