Waltz in E major (Chopin)

Frédéric Chopin's Waltz in E major is one of his lesser known waltzes, discovered in his folder containing musical works that he did not want to be published.

The waltz was written in 1829 and published in 1861.[1] It was among the first of Chopin's posthumously published waltzes not to be given a posthumous opus number.[2] It appears in the Chopin National Edition as WN 18, Brown's catalogue as B. 44, in Kobylańska's catalogue as KK IVa/12, and in Chomiński's as P1/12.

Form

7-part rondo form as follows:

A-B-A-C-A-B-A,

where the A's are each in E major, the B's are each in G-sharp minor, and the C is in A major.
