Frédéric Chopin's 'Mazurka for piano No. 2 in C sharp minor, Op. 6/2' is a solo piano piece that was composed in 1830. It was premiered in the same year in Warsaw, Poland. The piece is part of a set of four mazurkas that Chopin composed as his Opus 6.

The piece is characterized by its lively and rhythmic melody, which is typical of the mazurka dance form. The piece is divided into three distinct sections or movements. The first movement is marked by a fast and lively melody that is played in the right hand. The left hand provides a steady accompaniment with a series of chords. The second movement is slower and more contemplative, with a more subdued melody that is played in the left hand.
