Скачать или смотреть George van Renesse: Waltz in A♭, op. 42

Dutch pianist George van Renesse (1909-1994) performs the "Grande Valse Nouvelle" by Chopin (1810-1849).

"Waltz in A♭ Major, op. 42"

The great pianist and teacher, David Dubal, wrote of this work: "A case may be made for the Op. 42 as Chopin's most perfect valse. After the first measures of trill, a call to the dance, there is a melody with a rare lilt composed in double time, with the triple time of the waltz in the left hand. Schumann remarked that 'like his earlier waltzes it is a salon piece of the noblest kind.' The composition, Schumann feels, should be danced to only by 'countesses at least.' This waltz is the most demanding technically of the series."
