Zarzycki Mazurka No 1 Op 26 for Violin and Orchestra

Zarzycki's Mazurka, Op. 26 is one of the most familiar Polish showpieces in the violin repertoire, and this edition presents the original full orchestral score re-engraved for clarity and accuracy.

At six minutes, it has the weight of a substantial concert feature. The scoring includes full winds, brass, and timpani alongside strings, which is what gives the piece its orchestral character and distinguishes this edition from piano reduction versions. Everything here is Zarzycki's original: the solo part, the orchestration, the dynamics and markings, all re-engraved from the source and presented in a clean, readable format for soloist, conductor, and orchestra.

Who it's for

This suits professional and conservatoire violinists looking for a well-prepared full orchestral edition of a standard recital showpiece. It works well in symphony and chamber orchestra concert programmes where a Polish or Romantic solo feature is wanted, and in diploma and competition preparation where an authentic orchestral edition is needed rather than a piano reduction.
