A nostalgic memory, or a dream of a dance rather than its actual realization...

The last piece from her 'Quatre Pièces pour Piano' (1860), Charlotte de Rothschild's F minor Waltz balances a basic waltz accompaniment with flowing, deeply communicative melodies. It carries Charlotte’s refined, understated style alongside clear Chopinistic influences—from its lamenting bass line to its heartfelt melody and elegant pianistic embellishments.
With its gentle, dance-like sway, this piece not only delights but plays an important role in helping us bridge the gap between Chopin's legendary teaching and a brilliant, forgotten voice ahead of the full album release of The Chopin Connection this autumn.
