Mazurek

The mazurka by Henryk Cylkow (1866–1945), a Jewish musician active in Kraków during the interwar period, shows remarkable affinity with the new stylistic trends initiated by Karol Szymanowski, the doyen of the Polish musical scene during this period, who imbued the traditional genre of the mazurka with new expressive harmonic contents. Indeed, what catches our attention is the expanded harmonic language of the piece, which firmly places it in the new modernist milieu.
