A curator at a museum in New York City has discovered a previously unknown waltz written by Frédéric Chopin.
Wednesday, October 30, 2024 12:03AMA museum curator has discovered a previously unknown waltz written by Frédéric Chopin - the first time that a new piece of work by the famed Polish composer has been found in nearly 100 years.
"Chopin famously wrote in 'small forms,' but this work, lasting about one minute, is shorter than any other waltz by him," adds the statement. "The penmanship matches other examples of Chopin's handwriting," said the spokeswoman. "The score contains fingerings and dynamic markings, suggesting that Chopin thought the piece might be performed someday."
"To hear this work for the first time will be an exciting moment for everyone in the world of classical piano."
