For Waltzes, most of them are doable.
I haven't heard of a Waltz in C Minor by Chopin but perhaps you're talking about the C-Sharp Minor Op.64 No.2?
Some doable ones are Op.34 No.2, Anything from Op.64, Op.70 has some nice ones, if you wanto to go for the more challenging, then the Op.34 No.1 and Op.18 are also quite fun. Op.42 is a bit on the harder side though based on the two pieces you listed.
Some Current Repertoire:
Scriabin: Sonatas 2,4 and 5
Chopin: Ballade 1,4, Scherzo 1
Rachmaninoff: Concerto 3
Ravel: Gaspard de la Nuit
Barber: Sonata
Beethoven: Appassionata

Maybe you can try Nocturne in E flat major and The Minute Waltz? I'm not sure if they are Chopin but those were really wonderful pieces. Hope this helps.

They are indeed pieces by Chopin!

His Waltz in A-Flat major, Op. 42 is nice, and not nearly as difficult as it initially looks(that might be my large hands talking though).
Not a waltz, but I'll also recommend the Op. 55 No. 1 Nocturne in F minor. It's one of his easier Nocturnes, and quite rewarding in my opinion.

Poems of Ecstasy – Scriabin’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
