Waltz in D-flat majorOp. 64 No. 1

Also known as Minute Waltz

Frédéric Chopin

  • Difficulty 7
  • D-flat major
  • 2 min
  • 140 measures

The first of Chopin's three Waltzes Op. 64, published in 1847 and dedicated to Countess Delfina Potocka. Molto vivace: the right hand circles in quick eighth notes over a light waltz bass, and a calmer sostenuto melody sings in the middle section before the opening returns. The names 'Minute Waltz' and 'Little Dog Waltz' are not Chopin's. This edition follows Theodor Kullak's 1880 Schirmer teaching edition, with its fingering.
