24,
four Mazurkas, November, 1835, dedicated to Comte de Perthuis;
op. 30, four Mazurkas, December, 1837, dedicated to Princesse
Czartoryska; op. 33, four Mazurkas, October, 1838, dedicated to
Comtesse Mostowska; op. 41, four Mazurkas, December, 1840,
dedicated to E. Witwicki; op. 50, three Mazurkas, November, 1841,
dedicated to Leon Szmitkowski; op. 56, three Mazurkas, August,
1844, dedicated to Mile. C. Maberly; op. 59, three Mazurkas,
April, 1846, no dedication, and op. 63, three Mazurkas,
September, 1847, dedicated to Comtesse Czosnowska.
Besides there are op. 67 and 68 published by Fontana after
Chopin's death, consisting of eight Mazurkas, and there are a
miscellaneous number, two in A minor, both in the Kullak,
Klindworth and Mikuli editions, one in F sharp major, said to be
written by Charles Mayer--in Klindworth's--and four others, in G,
B flat, D and C major. This makes in all fifty-six to be grouped
and analyzed. Niecks thinks there is a well-defined difference
between the Mazurkas as far as op. 41 and those that follow.
