Description
Op.70 gathers three waltzes, none of which were published during Chopin's lifetime; they appeared together only after his death. Composed over a span from around 1829 to 1841, the set ranges from bright, light-hearted pieces to more shadowed ones, offering a broad view of the waltz genre's expressive range.
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.
