Listen to the intricate and dramatic Frederic Chopin - Mazurka In C Sharp Minor, Op. 50 No. 3. Written and published in 1842, this piece is the third in a set of three mazurkas that showcase Chopin's growing interest in counterpoint following his study of Cherubini’s 1837 book on the subject.
This masterpiece is renowned for its polyphonic writing. It opens with a delicate and subtle theme expressed in the form of a canon, which is then masterfully contrasted with the full, tempestuous sound of a mazur counter-theme. The work features an endless narration of rhythms and tones, eventually moving toward a dramatic watershed—a final culmination in a contrapuntal, chromaticised stretto. The movement eventually quiets and subsides, leaving a haunting impression.
