This mazurka is the one described by de Lenz as almost precipitating a violent row between Chopin and Meyerbeer: "Two-four," said Meyerbeer, after de Lenz played it. "Three- four," answered Chopin, flushing angrily. "Let me have it for a ballet in my new opera and I'll show you," retorted Meyerbeer. "It's three-four," scolded Chopin, and played it himself. De Lenz says they parted coolly, each holding to his opinion. Later, in St. Petersburg, Meyerbeer met this gossip and told him that he loved Chopin. "I know no pianist, no composer for the piano like him."

Huneker "This Mazurka is only four lines long and is charming, as charming as the brief specimen in the Preludes."
