Wieniawski: The Bagpipe Player Op 19 No 2 (Viool en Piano)

The edition is part of the ABRSM syllabus (grade 8). The Mazurkas, Op. 19 (No. 1 Obertass, No. 2 Le ménétrier were not published until 1878,1 almost twenty years after their composition, by Schott of Mainz. Each of the Mazurkas, Op. 19 is furnished with a different dedication. The separate dedications of the two works show that the composer did not treat Op. 19 as a cyclic whole. This mazurka is distinguished by their simple harmonic writing. The composer employs mainly basic functional relations.
