A few of my favourite mazurkas by Chopin. Plenty of fluffs and fudges, a few edits. Mostly tolerable I hope, with period-inspired rubato and rhythms, as normal. These pieces also give an opportunity to indulge in some attempts at mazurka rhythms - so many pianists just ignore them! All sloppier than I would have liked, but this is just me sitting down and playing when I can, to hopefully entertain a bit during Covid lockdown. Or perhaps it's just me deliberately introducing some hopefully-idiomatic improvisatory aspects.... :) Apologies also for accompanying cutlery on occasion, and hopefully hear the spirit over the letter of the text.
