Chopin Walzer - 2024 entdeckt A minor

In the fall of 2024, the Morgan Library in New York announced a sensation: its curator Robinson McClellan had discovered a postcard-sized manuscript of a waltz in A minor with the title "Chopin" in an estate. Chopin experts from all over the world have since checked and confirmed the authenticity of the manuscript: It is undoubtedly an autograph by the Polish composer and, moreover, the short waltz is a previously unknown original work. Scholars and pianists have been in waltz fever ever since!
In close cooperation with the Morgan Library, G. Henle Verlag has the privilege of presenting the first Urtext edition of the new Chopin waltz: in addition to the musical text edited by Jeffrey Kallberg, it also offers a facsimile of the autograph. In his afterword, the internationally renowned Chopin scholar offers fascinating reflections on the genesis and purpose of this short composition. Star pianist Lang Lang has been enlisted to finger the work and has taken this sensational discovery around the world with his first recording. A gem for all Chopin fans and piano lovers!
