Description
The mazurka is a Polish folk dance in triple meter, usually at a lively tempo, and with accent on the second or third beat. In France, Impressionistic composers Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel both wrote mazurkas; Debussy’s is a stand-alone piece, and Ravel’s is part of a suite of an early work, La Parade.
The mazurka appears frequently in French traditional folk music. This volume of Debussy’s Mazurka is published by Edition Peters and edited by H. Swarsenski.
