A beautiful little mazurka by Chopin plays a role in An Evil Eye, and readers might like to hear it.
Frederic Chopin, by Delacroix
This is it being played by Cortot:

In An Evil Eye, it is of course played by Palewski, the Polish ambassador, on his violin; and later in the novel he hears it being whistled.
