About the piece
One of the waltzes found among Chopin's papers and published after his death rather than by his own choice. Like the other posthumous waltzes, it circulated in various manuscript copies before reaching print.
Graceful and unpretentious, it belongs to the salon rather than the concert hall, and offers an approachable entry into Chopin's waltz writing.
