In the third act of the ballet Swan Lake, the mother chooses a bride for the prince, and Polish guests present a wonderful "Mazzuca" dance for the prince. Eight pairs of male and female dancers, accompanied by the brisk Mazurka dance music in triple time, are doing various tricks and changing various dance steps under the leadership of the lead dancer; Actors dressed in national military uniforms, marching at a steady pace of military parade, show men's proud and handsome demeanor, while actresses dressed in gorgeous national costumes run gracefully and lightly, showing women's feminine posture; The whole dance is full of exotic and colorful breath, which is dazzling. Besides, there are also wonderful performances in the opera Ivan Su Sanning and the ballet Remunda.
Among Polish folk dances, there is Krakow Krakow in southern Krakow province. Music is dominated by two beats, light and powerful, full of jumping rhythm. The main feature of dance steps is striding like riding a horse, and men do some skills such as jumping and kicking in the air from time to time; Women's gentle movements are in sharp contrast to men's masculinity. Oberlik, located in Hobochino, is famous for performing special skills, such as fast spinning, weight lifting, spinning and skipping rope. Dance is lively and fast, full of pride and passion.
Mazzuca, Krakowiak and Oberly Dance have been spread in European countries since18th century, and have a history of several hundred years. It is used as ballet material by ballet directors.
Mazuka dance is another unique creative field of Chopin. Chopin is the first thing that comes to mind when Mazzuca is mentioned in the whole piano music literature. Other composers also have Mazuka. But only Chopin wrote a lot of particularly brilliant Mazuka. In Chopin's own works, Mazzuca is also very special. First, these works have the most fragrance of Polish soil. In addition, this is also one of his creative fields with less drama and tragedy elements.
Mazurka dance is a local folk dance in Mazurvia, Poland. Its music is all in triple time, and its typical rhythm is:
In addition, Kuyawiak and Oberlik are also in three times the time. Chopin's Mazuka dance music is composed by combining the characteristics of the above three kinds of dance music. Chopin's Mazzuca dance often reveals the typical rhythm of Mazzuca dance, but Chopin uses it in a superb way, far from rigidly repeating the folk rhythm. In terms of melody, Chopin is a genius, absorbing the essence of folk music and creating it according to highly specialized artistic standards. Harmony and mode have Chopin's unique creation. In spite of this, the local Polish style of Mazzuca dance has not weakened; On the contrary, Tingting stands in the garden of piano music with more elegant and poetic demeanor. Critics say Mazuka is Chopin's vivid feeling of hometown, land, people and their glorious spirit, and the "whole soul" of the Polish people.
Because Mazuka is such Polish music, a Polish pianist said that only Poles can play it well. However, one thing that Chinese people can be proud of is that the 5th Chopin International Piano Competition was held in Warsaw from 65438 to 0955. Fu Cong, a pianist from China, not only won the third place, but also won the Mazzuca Prize for Best Performance.
