A new piece of music believed to be penned by Frédéric Chopin has been discovered in the vault of a New York museum nearly 200 years after it was first written. The unknown waltz was found in the Morgan Library and Museum — which dates the music to between 1830 and 1835 — on a card bearing the polish composers name, according to the New York Times. It was found by curator Robinson McClellan while he was cataloguing new collections, he told the newspaper.
“What we’re most certain about is it is written in the hand of Chopin, paper that he wrote on himself in his own hand,” McClellan told the BBC. “What’s not entirely sure is that it’s music that he composed,' he said. “I feel about 98% sure, and many people who have heard it already feel in their gut this sounds like Chopin.
