Chopin’s last waltz? This Waltz by Chopin was unearthed as late as the 1950s, together with another previously unknown waltz in E flat major (no 18) by the American pianist Byron Janis, at Chateau Thoiry near Paris, France.
A few years later he repeated his discovery at the Yale University, where he found two other unknown versions of the same Waltzes! This is one of the more introspective and melancholy of Chopin’s waltzes. It was composed near the end of the composer’s life, perhaps even as late as 1849, when he was very weak and surely realised that he didn’t have much time left to live.

Many of Chopin’s waltzes are in an ABA form - they have 3 sections, which many times are punctuated by repeat signs. Find these sections and add capital letters (A) and (B) at the beginning of each section.
Then use the directions listed below to practice each section. 1 – Practice the left hand only first. A) Play the downbeats only (bass notes) going from one measure to another. Note the pattern outlined by this bass line and memorize it, speaking the note names as you play. B) Likewise, play the second beat only (chords) going from one measure to the next. Note the pattern outlined by these chords and note the voice leading.
Can you play the chords lightly, with firm fingers and a supple wrist? 2 – Practice the right hand only. Following the phrasing correctly gives continuity to your playing.
Note the slurs - Chopin was very specific with markings - and make sure that the notes under these slurs are played legato. Do not forget to add shape to your lines and to breathe between phrases. If you play the ornaments lightly, your lines will sound smoother. To read the practice tips.

The posthume waltz in A minor of Friederich Chopin. When you see the score its seems not to be finish, because there are no indications of dynamics, but it is still beautifull. I hope you enjoy. In Spanish: or in youtube: regards June 06, 2011, 03:05:37 PM by goodtone Hi, I'm around about the grade III level of ability and self taught.
I have the ABRSM book of some of Chopins 'easier pieces '. I noticed that there are no pedal marks displayed but listening versions on youtube I found the pedal to be used. I would think the piece would be quite choppy without the use of the pedal. Just wondering what your thoughts are?
Also, the RH fingering given uses 1,2,1 in a couple of phrases and I was finding it quite awkward using a TU approach do a 1,2,1 (Index finger seems to get in the way, unlike a 1,3,1 movement) and a TO seemed to be more natural for this. I'm self taught and am going through the John Thompson, Grade III at the moment but have so far not come across using a 1,2,1 movement which felt a bit awkward? Thanks, Shaun August 15, 2013, 11:43:35 AM by stefo78 Hello everyone, this is my first post and please feel free to leave any advice and comment about my piano playing and to improve myself.

Thanks by advance, Stephane July 02, 2016, 08:36:45 AM by josh93248 Hi everyone, I just uploaded a video of me playing a Chopin Waltz.
I quite enjoy playing this little piece and I'm going to work on two more small Waltzes in future before moving on to the main body of them.

Paul, Llansannan, UK. 'Wonderful service!. I have no reservation in recommending it as a “must” to all pianists, both teachers and students, amateur and professional.' Robert J Keane, pianist Australia 'I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts.
At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site.
I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away.'
Robert York, pianist Long Beach, California 'Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
