Chopin
Poland
Poland is hardly a musical "superpower", and has never been a musical center. Yet Frédéric Chopin, the Polish "piano poet" who barely lived in his country as a composer, was among the first to explore his country's dances, and made the mazurka and the PolonaisePolonaise in Ab 'Heroic', Op.53 - Chopin his favored forms of piano composition.

Dances originated in this country:
Mazurka - a Polish folk dance that became an all-European aristocratic dance. 3/4 metre, accenting the off-beats in every measure. Chopin composed many mazurkas.

Polonaise - a Polish ceremonial dance in a triple metre. Chopin composed many such dances.
