The piece opens with a melancholic melody, characterized by its bittersweet harmonies and delicate ornamentation. As the music unfolds, Chopin weaves intricate rhythms and rich harmonies, evoking the spirit of the Polish folk dance, the mazurka, while also infusing it with a sense of farewell and resignation.
