Chopin Waltz in A Minor
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.
Hello, Yash. I enjoyed listening to it so much. Well played. I am looking forward to listening to your next performance. Well done.
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!
Thank you so much!
I’ve always adored this piece. Beautiful interpretation of it!
I completely agree with your words on this piece. It has a gorgeous, gentle melody that you played beautifully!
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!
