The Op. 56 mazurkas by Frédéric Chopin are a set of three mazurkas presumably written 1843–1844 and published in 1844. A typical performance of all three mazurkas lasts around 12 minutes.[1]

Op. 56 No. 1 in B major is notable for its major-third-related 5-part rondo structure (B major-E major-B major-G major-B major).
