Chopin, Fréderic (1810-1849)

Quatre Mazurkas pour le Piano Forte. Op. 17.

Schlesinger: Paris, [after 1834]. Pl.n: 1704. First French edition, later issue. [Grabowski-Rink 17-1a-Sm. Chominski-Turlo, p. 115. Hoboken 4, 249]. Engraved. Quarto. 11 pp. Brandus stamp on title page. Disbound. In excellent condition. Title page with minor spots. Music quite clean.
Schlesinger acquired a portion of Pleyel's business, including editions and plates, in 1834.
Chopin composed the op. 17 mazurkas in 1832-1833, shortly after settling in Paris, and are, in some ways, expressions of his homesickness for Poland. Grove's Dictionary describes their style as establishing a new model for the stylization of folk idioms.
