The Waltzes of Chopin<\/a> have little in common with those by Schubert or those by the Strauss circle \u2013 he even wrote home from Vienna pouring scorn on the waltz, horrified by the fact that \u201cthey actually call waltzes works\u201d. But perhaps with the intention of raising it to a higher level, he went on to make continuous efforts in the genre himself, producing music that has never lost its attraction for pianists or the public.<\/p>\n

Urtext sheet music and recordings are now available from our sheet music library for three of the Waltzes:
\nWaltz – op 64 no 1 in D-flat Major (“Minute Waltz”)<\/a>
\nWaltz – op 64 no 2 in C-sharp Minor<\/a>
\nWaltz opus posth. in A Minor <\/a><\/p>\n

\nChopin firstly named this brilliant and playful waltz “Petit chien” (Little Dog) since he was trying to depict a dog chasing its tail. However, it later got its nickname from Chopin’s publisher who coined the nickname, intended the “minute” to mean “small”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
