Lost Chopin Waltz Discovered: A New Chapter in the Legacy of a Romantic Composer

In a surprising turn of events, a previously unknown waltz by the renowned Romantic Polish composer Frédéric Chopin has been unearthed, nearly two centuries after his passing.

The four by five-inch manuscript, believed to be a lost Chopin composition, was stumbled upon in 2019 by music composer and Morgan Library and Museum curator Robinson McClellan while examining the Arthur Satz Collection. The piece, dating back to the early 19th century, was recently revealed by the New York institution, shedding light on a lesser-known aspect of Chopin’s musical repertoire.

Following its initial discovery, experts at the museum, in collaboration with Chopin specialist Jeffrey Kallberg from the University of Pennsylvania, conducted a thorough analysis of the waltz. The materials used in creating the composition, including the ink and paper, were found to be consistent with Chopin’s other works, further validating its authenticity.

Although the waltz was labeled as “Chopin” in the Satz Collection, it lacked the composer’s signature, suggesting that it may not have been intended as a gift or that Chopin reconsidered its significance. The composition consists of 24 notated measures meant to be played on the piano, lasting less than a minute, making it a unique addition to Chopin’s body of work.

Described as an abandoned piece from Chopin’s early career, the newly discovered waltz showcases a departure from his usual style, featuring an initial burst of intensity followed by a melancholic melody. This unconventional beginning adds a layer of intrigue to the composer’s creative evolution.

Frederic Chopin, born in 1810 in Poland, rose to prominence as a musical prodigy and captured the hearts of audiences with his emotive compositions. His relationship with writer George Sand influenced many of his works, although the recently authenticated waltz predates this period. Chopin’s limited public performances and untimely death in 1849 left behind a lasting legacy in the world of classical music.

Assistant Curator Robinson McClellan expressed excitement about the discovery, stating, “This newly found waltz expands our understanding of Chopin as a composer and raises intriguing questions about its origins and purpose. Hearing this composition for the first time will undoubtedly be a momentous occasion for classical music enthusiasts worldwide.”
