   The Mazurka, alongside the polka dance, became popular at the ballrooms and salons of Europe in the 19th century, particularly through the notable works by Frédéric Chopin. The mazurka (in Polish mazur , the same word as the mazur ) and mazurek (rural dance based on the mazur) are often confused in Western literature as the same musical form.
