About This Recording

Frederic Chopin composed the Valse Op. 64 No. 1 around 1847, reportedly inspired by his partner George Sand's small dog chasing its own tail — earning the piece its beloved nickname "Minute Waltz." Despite its name, the piece typically runs between 90 seconds and two minutes when performed at the composer's intended tempo. This Artyfile recording delivers the waltz with faithful interpretive clarity: the sparkling opening descending chromatic run, the lyrical contrasting middle section in D-flat major, and the exhilarating return to the main theme. Mastered to broadcast standard at 44.1 kHz WAV quality, this recording is ready for professional film, television and digital media production.
