The developments in the field of industry in the 19th century brought about changes in human life. This change manifested itself in music with the influence of the nationalism movement, and the composers reflected the longing and love they felt for their own culture and country in their works. Thus, some music has created a very strong connection between the composer and the culture of his country. This connection is seen in Chopin's music in the form of mazurkas. Mazurkas are a folk dance originated in the 16th century by the Mazurians living in the Mazovia region near Warsaw, Poland. Frederic François Chopin has made a great contribution to the Mazurka genre, which is still played and known in the instrument repertoire today, especially piano. F. F. Chopin, who mostly composed piano works, expressed his love of homeland, loyalty to his nation and his aspirations through his works on mazurka and polonaise genres. In this research, F. F. Chopin's Op. 6 No.1 Mazurka has been studied in detail in terms of form in order to assist the player in the musical expression of the piece.
