First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.After the Ball is a dreamy mazurka in B minor. Dotted rhythms, small ornaments, and slowly shifting harmonies suggest a dance remembered at a distance. The opening balances sustained upper notes with a brief ornamental rise and a falling answer. The lower part moves in broad intervals, leaving room around the melody. The middle section becomes more direct, with a stronger single-line tune over detached bass notes. The opening returns softly, and a slowing final phrase settles into a sustained minor harmony. Interesting fact: Although the title places the scene after the celebration, the printed “Tempo di Mazurka” preserves the dance’s three-beat identity.
