The Mazurka in D major, B. 71, is a work composed by Frédéric Chopin in the year 1832 and first published in 1880. B. 71 is in fact considered a heavily revised version of the 1829 Mazurka in D major, B. 31 (published in 1875).
As this piece doesnt have a proper Opus number, it is usually referred to as B. 71 and KK IVb/2, according to its entry numbers in the Brown, and Kobylanska catalogues respectively.
Performer: Edward Neeman.

![[CLASSICAL MUSIC] - Piano Concerto no. 2 in F minor, Op. 21 by Frédéric Chopin](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cNWAffgTlHI/hqdefault.jpg "[CLASSICAL MUSIC] - Piano Concerto no. 2 in F minor, Op. 21 by Frédéric Chopin
Frédéric Chopin wrote his first piano concerto ever in 1830. It was premiered that same year, and published after his next concerto, hence it came to be known as the Piano Concerto no. 2, in F minor, even though it was the first to be composed.
Written before Chopin finished his formal education, the piece betrays a certain sophistication in terms of formal development.
It features an extremely dominant piano part, with the orchestra leaving all responsibility for musical development to the soloist, thus ignoring the interplay that is the mainstay of an instrumental concerto.
The instrumentation of the concert has even been considered to be poor (Berlioz criticised Chopins treatment of the orchestra). The piece bears the unmistakable influence of italian opera -a common denominator for pianists of Chopins time- as well as the Polish mazurka.
00:00 - Maestoso.
13:32 - Larghetto.
22:59 - Allegro vivace.
Performer: Neal ODoan.

The Czech Suite in D (Ceská suita D dur), Op. 39 was composed by Dvorák in 1879 and premiered by Adolf Cech.
Dvorák had only recently become introduced to Fritz Simrock by Johannes Brahms but had already become displeased with several of his new publishers business practices, including releasing older works with high opus numbers, implying they were new.
He offered this work, recently written, to Simrock with a somewhat earlier number (that of works hed written a few years before) as part of his response.

![[CLASSICAL MUSIC] - Piano Quintet in Fm, Op. 34 by Johannes Brahms](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/d-ig48LM6i4/hqdefault.jpg "[CLASSICAL MUSIC] - Piano Quintet in Fm, Op. 34 by Johannes Brahms
The Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34, by Johannes Brahms was completed in 1864. It was dedicated to Princess Anna of Hesse. Like most piano quintets composed after Robert Schumanns, it is written for piano and string quartet (two violins, viola and cello).
The piece is in four movements. The work began life as a string quintet (completed in 1862).
Brahms worked it into a sonata for two pianos (in which form Brahms and Carl Tausig performed it) before giving it its final form. Brahms destroyed the original version for string quintet, but published the Sonata as Op. 34 bis. The outer movements are more adventurous than usual in terms of harmony and are unsettling in effect.
The introduction to the finale, with its rising figure in semitones, is especially remarkable. Both piano and strings play an equally important role throughout this work.
00:00 - I. Allegro non troppo.
10:56 - II. Andante un poco adagio.
19:49 - III. Scherzo Allegro.
27:14 - IV. Finale Poco sostenuto.
Composer: Johannes Brahms.

The Ecoissaises are lively contradances, inspired in the tradition of the Scottish dances that were popular in the continent.

The Slavonic Dances are two sets of pieces (Op. 46 and Op. 72) written by Antonín Dvorák in 1878 and 1886 respectively.
Though originally composed for piano four hands, the publisher asked Dvorak to orchestrate the pieces right after publishing them, and in their orchestral form they quickly became famous.

Frédéric Chopin wrote his Mazurkas, Op. 50, between 1841 and 1842. After the political events in Poland around 1930, Chopin was inspired to honor the culture of his land by incorporating elements of this traditional dance into his compositions.
The result is a blend of folkloric elements and academic procedures. The Op. 50 set of Mazurkas consists of three pieces for solo piano, published in 1842 and dedicated to Leon Szmitkowski.
00:00 - G major, Op. 50 no. 1.
