Description
This waltz is believed to have been composed around the time Chopin was nineteen, before he left Poland, and was published only after his death. A melancholic melody unfolds over a gentle triple-time rhythm, showing the lyrical sensibility of the young composer along with hints of the poetic depth found in his later works.
Waltzes in elegant triple time, including Chopin's concert waltzes alongside works by a range of other composers.

About the Composer
Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849)
Frederic Chopin was born in Poland and made his career in Paris, remaining unusual among great composers for writing almost exclusively for piano. He poured his longing for his homeland into mazurkas and polonaises, while his ballades and etudes combine poetic melody with harmonic innovation. This site includes 131 of his works, including the "Revolutionary" Etude, Op. 10, No. 12, and Ballades No. 1 and No. 4.
