The three mazurkas of opus 63, composed in 1846, make up the last set published during Chopin’s lifetime. By this time, his relationship with Aurore Dudevant, better known by her pseudonym George Sand, was crumbling and his frail health was rapidly deteriorating. The somber mood which must have hung over the composer’s mind during this time is evident in the latter two mazurkas of the set, particularly the middle dance in F minor.
