Waltz in E minor (Chopin)

[1] It was the first of Chopin's posthumously published waltzes not to be given an opus number.

56, in Kobylańska's catalogue as KK IVa/15, in Chomiński's as P1/15, and in the Chopin National Edition as WN 29.

It was composed shortly before Chopin left Poland at the age of 20.

In a typical performance, this waltz lasts just under three minutes.

[2] In 1956, Jerome Robbins choreographed his ballet The Concert (or, The Perils of Everybody) which uses, among other works by Chopin, the Waltz in E minor for the portion known as the "Mistake Waltz".
