The Mazurkas, Op. 7 are a set of five mazurkas by Frédéric Chopin. The mazurkas were written in 1830 – 1832. A typical performance of all five mazurkas takes a little over eleven minutes. No. 1 in B-flat major The first mazurka is marked Vivace and is perhaps the most well-known mazurka of the set. No. 2 in A minor Despite the Vivo, ma non troppo marking, the mazurka is usually slowly performed, and the main theme is relatively mild. No. 3 in F minor The third mazurka is the only one in the set to feature no repeats. No. 4 in A-flat major This mazurka was originally composed in 1824; Chopin revised it and put it as the fourth mazurka of the set. No. 5 in C major The final mazurka is the shortest of the five, taking less than a minute to perform. It is known as a fine example of the composer's sense of humour.
