When I started learning this piece, I was amazed by how Chopin created this beautiful melody. Several words that come to mind when playing this piece are elegant, expressive, flowing, and gentle. My favorite part about this piece is the dynamics mixed with the pedal. 

In the beginning of learning this piece, my left hand wasn’t cooperating with the jumping movements in the waltz pattern. I fixed this by practicing slowly and getting it up to tempo. I also worked on just the motion for a little bit. If you are practicing this piece, I suggest you start with the motion first before you start learning the notes. 

I hope you enjoy my interpretation of this waltz.

    Picture While it is a beautiful picture, I would’ve loved an explanation as to why you chose this photo for this piece. A waltz is a dance, so a picture with a little more movement may have made more sense.. For example, flowers in a garden, different color flowers, that portray movement. Intro I completely understand your comment about your left hand not cooperating! Great job in mastering that technique. You made… Read more »

    I enjoyed your interpretation of this Waltz very much, Yash. Your picture reminds me of the words you used in your intro – “elegant, expressive, flowing and gentle”. Several of those adjectives are so perfect for Chopin. He is not always gentle, but he’s always elegant! It’s clear that you really appreciate Chopin, from your excellent performance. I look forward to more wonderful presentations from you!

    As an ex-dancer, I have danced many a waltz, Yash, and I found myself imagining gliding over the dance floor, swirling and swaying to the music. It was magical! And yes, so elegant! I absolutely loved it!

    What a lovely piece of music, Yash. You have played it beautifully. Linda mentioned she could have imagined herself gliding over the dance floor whilst listening to it; my daughter used to skate, so I have a habit of listening to music in terms of its suitability for a skating programme. I wish I’d discovered this piece back then. Nicely done
