One of the most renowned Mazurkas by Chopin.
It is to be played lightly, characterized by simple harmonic progressions.
The right-hand trills should not be played heavily; when allowed to resonate fully, they create a brilliant impression.
A notable characteristic is also the use of open fifths in the latter half.

This set of Five Mazurkas, Op. 7 is dedicated to Mr. Paul Émile Jones of La Nouvelle-Orléans.
The first piece, in B-flat major, is a Vivace mazur. The types of chords used are relatively limited, resulting in clear harmony. A Kujawiak characterized by open fifths is inserted midway.
The second piece, in A minor, is a Kujawiak with a mazur in its middle section, characterized by chromatic harmony.
The third piece, in F minor, has an 8-bar introduction. Three types of mazurkas appear in succession: Oberek, Kujawiak, Mazur, Kujawiak...
The fourth piece, in A-flat major, is marked Presto ma non troppo and begins with an Oberek. A mazur-like scherzando is inserted midway. The piece as a whole possesses a rich variety of expressions. Near the end, it suddenly modulates to A major.
The fifth piece, marked Vivo, is written in C major but oscillates between C major and G major throughout. It is a Kujawiak consisting of a 4-bar introduction followed by a 16-bar main section.
Note: Explanations of Kujawiak, Mazur, and Oberek can be found here (Noriko Sato's series page).
