5, dedicated to the Comtesse Alexandrine de Moriolles (a daughter of the Comte de Moriolles mentioned in Chapter II), which, like the Rondo, Op.

1, was first published in Warsaw, and made its appearance in Germany some years later.

I do not know the exact time of its composition, but I presume it was a year or two after that of the previously mentioned works.

Schumann, who reviewed it in 1836, thought it had perhaps been written in the eighteenth year of the composer, but he found in it, some confused passages excepted, no indications of the author's youth.

In this Rondeau a la Mazur the individuality of Chopin and with it his nationality begin to reveal themselves unmistakably.
