Wow, this piece is so good! I really enjoy trying to imitate Chopin’s style with my compositions. I am heavily influenced by the waltzes from Chopin. I enjoy Meyer a lot. Your videos are fantastic! I love the history and theory.
It is with great joy and gratitude that I receive your present Henrik ! Yes Mayer is more accessible than Chopin ( I am a late adult beginner ) and this piece allows us to feel a variety of emotions, excitement, hope, melancholy, acceptance while not overcharging one' s technical abilities. I deeply appreciate the harmonic analysis which unlocks the roots of those very emotions ! Thank you so very much . Monique
Stephen Hough on this: "It was not so much the structure which made me think from the first time I saw the piece (1936 edition) that it couldn’t be by Chopin but the compositional mistakes. Chopin was fastidious about such things and there is false note-leading, inaccurate spelling of accidentals and rough harmony (too many thirds, bad spacing). I also never thought it sounded Chopin-esque but much more Russian. I only put it on as a curiosity and insisted that the notes explain its doubtful attribution."
this is magnificent :) im now attempting ballade number 4 and i decided to take a break from it and try this waltz :) thank you for the great interpretation
I don't think I've ever heard this waltz, but I have heard a G minor waltz that's also been wrongly associated with Chopin, the so called "Spring Waltz" that's really Mariage d'Amour by Paul de Senneville.
I'd say it's probably more of an intermediate level waltz. If you want a beginner level piano piece that has some of the same feel as a waltz, then I suggest looking at Beethoven's 12 German Dances WoO 13. Pieces like these German Dances are what the waltz as we know it developed from, so you can often hear some resemblance between these early German Dances by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven and the Waltzes that became popular in the Romantic Era. And Beethoven did write waltzes late in his life, there's 2. Those might be worth looking at a bit later, especially his WoO 84 Waltz in Eb.
I have never heard this piece but M. Thurston really picked out a gem for us to hear! I love it!
Thank you for introducing this lovely piece of music. 🙏💕

I'm glad you liked it! :)
@@SonataSecrets and yes" Chopinesque " is delightfully French ..ma langue maternelle !.. Chopinienne would have been colder and heavier !
@@SonataSecretsPS , thank you for the legato fingering tip !
Oh Mayer did a great job! Amazing videos Henrik
Nice to see you talking about this piece. I know about it for some time, and it sounds amazing
This is a beautiful piece. I'm not a huge fan of Chopin, so I find the simplicity of this piece charming.
what?! not a fan of Chopin?
@@zakariard i know right, outrageous 😆

A great piece, more predictable and accessible than Chopin. Henrik, your piano sounds wonderful!!🎵
Chopin has extremely simple waltzes, like the posth in a minor. I would say is even harder and more complex this piece than Chopin's original.
Wow really nice. That's great you love waltzes. Speaking of which, have you heard Ravel's Noble and Sentimental waltzes?
My family owns a sheet music copy of this waltz. I think it goes back to the 1920's.

I love this piece and it is a very great video! Have you studied music ?
Fantastic video! Is this a beginner-friendly piece to play?

@@caterscarrots3407 Thanks for your reply and this information!
Can you guide the fantaisie impromptu?
Eftersom vi både bor i Sverige. Så var och när kan man höra dig ge en pianokonsert?
Sounds little like Chopin. It sounds far more like one of Tchaikovsky's piano compositions.
Beautiful piece, but Chopin would've made a better waltz
