Chopin Mazurka in F major. 2 2
This is another piece that looks difficult on the page but 3 3
it's not too bad once you notice how closely it sticks 4 4
to chord tones and that the second half is nearly identical to the first half. 5 5
So let's look at both hands separately. 6 6
First of all, it's using F, first of all, but 7 7
it's using the 3rd and the 5th, and then, 8 8
more or less F backwards without a 5th okay. 9 9
Down to C, so 3rd and 5th of C, now and 3rd of C. 10 10
So 3rd and 5th of F, down to C. 11 11
It's in a 6th, okay? 12 12
And 3rd and 5th to D minor. 13 13
Ending in F, middle of C without the root. 14 14
[MUSIC] 15 15
And 3rd and 16 16
5th of B flat. 17 17
Okay and then it sort of repeats itself. 18 18
Slight change at the end. 19 19
The left hand. 20 20
It's just playing even straight 1st and 21 21
5th, so this is F 1st and 5th, and then it goes into C and 22 22
its just playing 1st, 5th, 1st. 23 23
And it goes to D minor 1st and 5th again, 24 24
and down to A minor 1st and 5th again, 25 25
and then 1st and 5th of B flat. 26 26
And then octaves F. 27 27
[MUSIC] 28 28
Back to octaves. 29 29
[MUSIC] 30 30
And then that's into G. 31 31
[MUSIC]. 32 32
So when you play both hands together keep in mind that everything's very closely 33 33
related to the chord tones. 34 34
And each pattern moves. 35 35
You play one part, then you move down to the next chord, 36 36
then you move down to the next chord. 37 37
So just watch it very carefully. 38 38
We'll take you through it slowly. 39 39
[MUSIC] 40 40
Okay, so that's more or less the theme, and 41 41
you've moved everything down to D minor. 42 42
[MUSIC] 43 43
And into A minor. 44 44
[MUSIC]. 45 45
And B flat same thing. 46 46
[MUSIC] 47 47
Watch the octave and the B flat. 48 48
[MUSIC] 49 49
And then it repeats itself for the second half.
