The Origin of the World
This is a mazurka written by the legendary English fiddler Dave Shepherd (of Blowzabella). I have transcribed it as it's played on Octomento.
Happy droning.

Masurka?
Is this not more of a waltz than a mazurka? Mazurkas usually have a strong emphasis on the upbeat (which this doesn't) and also usually have some dotted rhythms and/or some triplets.
It's a lovely tune, though.

Also, the 8th bar of the B section is |FG Bc dc| rather than
|FG AB cf|.

I also thought that it wasn't particularly mazurka-like, but I think that it's referred to as a mazurka in the Octomento liner notes. I'll check that...
I've edited the abc according to your corrections.
