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 piano pieces of Chopin changed the way the piano was played, not so much in the technical sense as with Liszt, but in the expressiveness required of the pianist. In shorter works, Chopin experimented with textures and sonorities, creating an utterly distinct piano style. Perhaps the most unusual and individual of the shorter forms is the mazurka, which reflects the merging of Chopin's cosmopolitan influences in Paris with his growin consciousness of being Polish. While retaining the flavor and rhythm of traditional Polish dances, the mazurkas also reflect the sophisticated melodic nuances and the coloristic harmonies found in Chopin's other music. These brief, intimate evocations of his homeland are perhaps some of Chopin's greatest contributions to the piano repertoire.

The Trois Valses, Op.64 (published between 1846 and 1847) were the last set of such works to be published during Frédéric Chopin's lifetime, and were among the very last works sketched by his prodigious pen before his disease rendered further work impossible. Each of the three is among the shortest of his entries in the waltz form (making them entirely unsuitable for effective use in the ballroom--a use that, at this stage in his life, would have been unthinkable to the composer); they are, rather than actual dances, dance-poems that reflect the weakened composer's attitudes from three very different points of view. It is as if Chopin's latter-day musical personality were put through a prism, with the light of the resulting, rather distinct persona cast upon three separate sheets of music-paper. More subdued than No.1 (and strikingly Slavic in tone, with undercurrents of mazurka-rhythm mingling with the characteristic waltz figure) is the Valse in C-sharp minor, Op.64, No.2 that follows. Although the opening is marked Tempo giusto, one hardly ever hears this work played without a heavy dose of rubato. The "veiled melancholy", as Huneker called it, of the primary melody is unrivalled among Chopin's works. The sad protagonist is called to the dance floor by a spinning passage in running eighth notes (which returns two times throughout the piece, each time its tiny antecedent-consequent phrase pair being stated twice), while the piu lento, D-flat major middle section offers some consolation.

The Waltz in A-flat major, Op. 64 No. 3, composed by Frédéric Chopin, is the final waltz by Chopin that was published in his lifetime. It was dedicated to Countess Katarzyna Branicka. The waltz is in A-flat major and features a central section in C major. This, Chopin's final waltz, is a piece of delicately-poised, Moderato- tempo beauty. It offers neither the whirling glee of Op.64, No.1 nor the melancholy of Op.64, No.2, but rather a musical item in which the more pure expression of perfect structural and harmonic balance is paramount. The central section (in C major) is a dialogue between two melodic voices.

Although composed for solo piano, I created this Interpretation of the Waltz in Ab Major (Op. 64 No. 3) for String Quartet (2 Violins, Viola & Cello).
