Hi,

The sample is here, does anybody recognise it?

Thank you.

Chopin, sorry can't remember which one - a Waltz or Mazurka. Someone clever or less tired will be along to tell you shortly!

It is Chopin's Waltz in E minor. It is thought to have been written when he was around the age of 20, but it was not published during his lifetime so it has no Opus number.

in some Waltz collections it is given as number 15, in others as number 16

It is usually played a bit quicker and with more brilliance and snap than the snippet that you have found

Indeed, some players really play it quite quickly .
I have always found this one quite difficult for some reason though it has been set for Grade 8 so I should be able to cope !
