The example of "mazurka" that is to be downloaded here is not only very bad quality but what is more important - it is not representative. You should reconsider if it is appropriate...

When you say it is in triple time, what does that mean? Is it in three, or is it ridiculously fact, or both?

[edit] Irish

Why was the note about the Irish mazurka erased?--tufkaa 22:12, 24 April 2006 (UTC)h

Because it was uncited, presented out of context and badly formatted, and looked like advertising as it was presented. Tuf-Kat 22:30, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Radetzky March

I removed a reference to this piece as being a mazurka. No way. It's a march (believe it or not). (Someone had earlier identified Khatchaturian's "Sabre Dance" as being a mazurka(!!!))

[edit] Mazur, mazurek, mazurka

There is a difference between pl:Mazur (taniec) (dance) and pl:Mazurek (muzyka) (music). However this is not my field of expertise, and I am not sure if both of those terms are translated as mazurka. This is confusing, and expert opinion would help.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  00:42, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] !

It's named after Masovia ont Masuria

"not," ont "ont."

[edit] Balakirev

Mily Balakirev also wrote seven mazurkas. Someone should add him to the article.Tsd31411 03:56, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
