This album’s initial half explores Chopin’s most popular waltzes and op.57 in D-flat major. Waltz in A Minor, B. 150, Op. Posth. was writ- ten between 1843 and 1848 but was not published until 1860. The piece delves into great sadness, while lightly touching upon subversive hints of happiness and hope. It is a technically simplistic waltz but musically, the most challenging one. Waltz in D-Flat Major, Op. 64, No. 1, Valse du Petit Chien (minuet waltz), composed in 1847 and inspired by the scene of Chopin’s dog chasing its own tail. Waltz in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 64, No. 2 was composed in 1847, and represents the second work of his opus 64. This C-sharp minor can be carted with sweetness, melancholy and harmoniousness. It can be played more slowly than the first waltz of opus 64. Waltz in A-Flat Major, Op. 64, No. 3 is the final waltz of opus 64. It comprises both lively and lyrical lines. Waltz in A-flat Major, Op. 42, considered one of the finest and most perfect waltzes, was composed in 1840.
