Chopin and Scriabin both are the outstanding representative of the romantic national music. With a unique music style, Chopin created a large number of elegant Polish national music works. As the representative of Russian national music, Scriabin created the"Mystic Chord"which marks the beginning of a New Harmony period in history.Mazurka is a music genre created by Chopin. And then, Scriabin added his music style into Mazurka and made some innovations based on this music genre. Scriabin's Mazurka works are as follows: suite Op3 in 1889 (10 works), suite Op25 between 1898 and 1899 (9 works), suite Op40 in 1903 (2 works). Although these three suites belong to Mazurka genre, the character of these suites appears some difference. The suite Op3 has a fresh and moving music style and is one of the early works of Scriabin that are deeply affected by Chopin. The suite Op25 is a set of music works full of fantastic harmony. It embodies the mature creation idea of Scriabin. The suite Op40 comes back to the simple and unadorned music style as a summary of Mazurka in Scriabin's manner. During the exercise, the suite Op3 arouses my great interest.The music works of Op3 deeply affected by Chopin. The fantastic harmony and the impressive ambiance make the Op3 far beyond the concept of pure dance music. This paper is based on Mazurka. According to the folk origins and the development course of Mazurka, this paper explores the characteristics and the significance of the Mazurka piano music works. Firstly, this paper describes the innovative features of Chopin's and Scriabin's Mazurka in detail respectively, and compares their piano works in rhythm, tempo, tonality, musical form and other aspects. Then, the case analysis of Mazurka piano works of Scriabin's Op3 is presented. The analysis indicates that Scriabin's Mazurka not only combines personal music style with the harmony, but also maintains the typical tempo and Polish dance music character.
