Untitled[edit]

The example of "mazurka" that is to be downloaded here is not only very bad quality but what is more important - it is not representative. You should reconsider if it is appropriate...

When you say it is in triple time, what does that mean? Is it in three, or is it ridiculously fact, or both? Triple time, or triple meter means the same as "in three" - three beats per bar.

Second beat accent?[edit]

I see reference here to a typical feature of the mazurka being the accent on the second beat, and that tallies with other sources I've consulted. However, my listening (both to original "folk" mazurkas and to Chopin's mazurkas) suggests that an accent on the THIRD beat is more common, and the score example shown here also has accents on the third beats, not the second. Can anyone help clarify?

Still stub?[edit]

Any objection to upgrading to Start class, or maybe C? Quantumobserver (talk) 20:22, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Irish[edit]

Why was the note about the Irish mazurka erased?--tufkaa 22:12, 24 April 2006 (UTC)h[reply]

Because it was uncited, presented out of context and badly formatted, and looked like advertising as it was presented. Tuf-Kat 22:30, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Radetzky March[edit]

I removed a reference to this piece as being a mazurka. No way. It's a march (believe it or not). (Someone had earlier identified Khatchaturian's "Sabre Dance" as being a mazurka(!!!))

Mazur, mazurek, mazurka[edit]

There is a difference between pl:Mazur (taniec) (dance) and pl:Mazurek (muzyka) (music). However this is not my field of expertise, and I am not sure if both of those terms are translated as mazurka. This is confusing, and expert opinion would help.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  00:42, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

![edit]

It's named after Masovia ont Masuria

"not," ont "ont."

Balakirev[edit]

Mily Balakirev also wrote seven mazurkas. Someone should add him to the article.Tsd31411 03:56, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How to order the "Outside Poland" section[edit]

I recently re-ordered this section based on geography, rather than alphabetical names of countries or the order added. First mentioned is Russia (east of Poland) then France (west) and other countries going farther west, ending with Australia, which is just special :). I will move Cape Verde and Curacao around (I wasn't sure where they were located). I will also move the recently added Portugal section to be in the European section. I would like to request that new additions maintain this order. Or if someone has an order that they think is better, let's discuss it. DBlomgren (talk) 20:09, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tansman and Liapounov should be included[edit]

Alexandre Tansman should be included in this article as a major composer of Mazurka as he wrote at least 20. Also Liapounov wrote about 8—Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.159.114.171 (talk) 17:17, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Editing this page[edit]

I have added just a little bit of information about Chopin's mazurkas because I believe that they are important to the genre of mazurkas as a whole. I have just added some basic information about Chopin's mazurkas--stylistic characteristics and how Chopin's mazurkas are similar and different from the traditional dance form.--Wordpainter2416 (talk) 01:18, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

popular culture section[edit]

The "popular culture" section which 74.77.170.126 removed is pretty awful, and probably should stay deleted, per WP:POPCULTURE. The mere mention of "mazurka" in a song or movie title isn't really encyclopedic, and this article now has enough real content that it doesn't need the padding. Argyriou (talk) 04:38, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling[edit]

It should be "mazurek" (masculine).

Flemish mazurka (under French Mazurka)[edit]

While it is true that the mazurka as it is typically played and danced in Flanders (and the Netherlands) is at a slower pace, it needs a citation. According to my research it originated at the festival Gennetines in France and Flemish visitors of Gennetines brought it back with them. But I don't have any citations for that so I won't put it in the article. AmedeeVanGasse (talk) 08:26, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
