Stonestiles Mazurka

The Mazurka is a Polish dance. In Russia the Polonaise opened the ball, and the Mazurka ended it. In the Mazurka the couples follow the leader in circular formation around the room. Sometimes the woman kneels down while her partner executes a chasse around her, and then this figure is reversed.

The Mazurka (a tune in 3/4 time) is also quite common in Irish traditional music. Some common ones are Sonnys Mazurka and The Donegal Mazurka. Here is one written in this style by my friend and fellow whistler Judy Knight. 
Commas are suggested breathing places, varying the places to breathe will benefit the phrasing. The tune starts on an upbeat, which means the first two notes are lead in notes, those being the last two notes of a whole bar, that is compensated by the last bar of each section where you will notice there are only two beats. The upbeat is there to act as a springboard to hitting the main first beat of a bar.

There are some suggested places for cuts and triplets although this is only my interpretation.
