By 1845, when
Frederic Chopin was 35, his relationship with George Sand was falling apart. In this year, Fred produced only one small set of mazurkas. You could always count on Chopin for a mazurka or two.
The first is a bit sad and contemplative. The second is a bit brighter and grander. The third is darker but livelier.
Chopin: 3 Mazurkas (A minor, A-flat, F# minor), Op. 59
