Added by magataganm, 25 Feb 2024 Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin,was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic era, who wrote primarily for the solo piano. He gained and has maintained renown worldwide as one of the leading musicians of his era, whose "poetic genius was based on a professional technique that was without equal in his generation." Chopin was born in what was then the Duchy of Warsaw, and grew up in Warsaw, which after 1815 became part of Congress Poland. A child prodigy, he completed his musical education and composed many of his works in Warsaw before leaving Poland at the age of 20, less than a month before the outbreak of the November 1830 Uprising. The Waltz Opus 69, No. 2 was composed by Frédéric Chopin for solo piano in the year 1829 at the age of 19. Although it was published posthumously in 1855 by his friend Julian Fontana, together with the Waltz Opus 69, No. 1. The main theme is in the key of B minor and is marked with an overall tempo of Moderato. The piece is largely melancholic with three different sections and melodies which changes to B major and again reverts to the original theme. It is one of several works that the composer hoped would be burnt upon his death. Source: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waltz_in_B_minor,_Op._69 ,_No._2_(Chopin)). Although composed for solo piano, I created this Interpretation of the Waltz in B Minor (Op. 69 No. 2) for String Quartet (2 Violins, Viola & Cello).
