Frederic Chopin: Minute Waltz
built 623 days ago
Several melodies of Chopin's have become well known; because of their unique melodic shape they are instantly memorable and easily recognized. Among these are the Revolutionary Étude (Op. 10, No. 12), the Minute Waltz (Op. 64, No. 1), and the third movement of his Funeral March sonata (Op. 35), which is used as an iconic representation of grief. Interestingly, the Revolutionary Etude was not written with the failed Polish uprising against Russia in mind, it merely appeared at that time.

Charlotte de Rothschild (1825-1899), daughter of the banker James de Rothschild, took piano lessons with Chopin in her youth. However, it was only after she married her cousin Nathaniel de Rothschild in 1842 that Chopin dedicated the Ballade, op. 52, and the Waltz, op. 64, no. 2, to her.
