Between the years 1825 and 1849, Chopin composed at least 69 mazurkas, based on the traditional Polish dance. Using the traditional mazurka as his model, Chopin was able to transform his mazurkas into an entirely new genre, one that became known as a "Chopin genre". His composition of these mazurkas signaled new ideas of nationalism, and influenced and inspired other composers—mostly eastern Europeans—to support their national music.
