Mazurka, Op. 17 No. 4 | Frédéric Chopin

Composed by Frédéric Chopin / Arr. Hirono Borter

Frédéric Chopin’s Mazurka in A Minor, Op. 17, No. 4 is reimagined here for violin and cello, bringing the work’s intimate character and distinctive rhythm into a richly expressive chamber setting. Originally composed for solo piano, this hauntingly beautiful mazurka is known for its subtle rubato, bittersweet lyricism, and shifting balance between elegance, restraint, and quiet intensity.

In this arrangement, Hirono Borter distributes Chopin’s melodic and harmonic material between the two instruments, allowing the violin and cello to engage in a nuanced musical dialogue. The edition offers performers an evocative version of this Romantic masterpiece for recitals, teaching, and intimate concert programs.
