Published by Thomas Ling of Sibu (A0.1586625).Glinka’s Mazurka in C Minor is a charming yet somewhat melancholic piano miniature that reflects both the elegance of the Polish dance and the expressive depth typical of Romantic music.
Mikhail Glinka (1804–1857) was a Russian composer often considered the father of Russian classical music. His works played a foundational role in developing a distinctly Russian musical identity, influencing composers like Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Tchaikovsky.
Mazurka by Glinka
Glinka composed several mazurkas. His mazurkas are piano miniatures inspired by the traditional Polish dance, featuring lively rhythms, accentuated second beats, and elegant melodic lines. Unlike Chopin’s deeply expressive and harmonically adventurous mazurkas, Glinka’s tend to be lighter, more straightforward, and rooted in salon-style music, emphasizing charm and danceability.
Comparison to Chopin’s Mazurkas:
Less intricate harmonies – Glinka’s harmonic palette is more straightforward.
More dance-like and classical – Chopin often transformed the mazurka into an expressive, almost improvisatory form, whereas Glinka maintains a more structured, danceable style.
National identity – While Chopin infused his mazurkas with deeply Polish folk elements, Glinka’s remain closer to the salon style with occasional Russian-inflected melodies.
