Frédéric Chopin's waltzes are pieces of moderate length for piano, all written between 1824 and 1849. They are all in waltz triple meter, specifically 3/4 (except Op. P1/13, which is in 3/8 time), but differ from earlier Viennese waltzes in not being intended for dancing; nonetheless, several have been used in ballets, most notably Les Sylphides.

The Waltz Op. 70, No. 1, in G-flat major was composed in 1832. [4] It is written in the "brilliant style". According to Jeffrey Kallberg, "the unpublished waltzes also capture the joyfulness and glitter of the dance hall and salon, as we can hear in the waltzes in E major, A-flat major [] (Chopin's only waltz notated in three-eighth metre), and, especially, in G-flat major, Op. 70, No 1."
But Ludwig noted that, if it's authentic, the tightly composed score would be one of Chopin’s shortest known pieces. The waltz clocks in at under a minute long when played on piano, as many of Chopin’s works were intended. “In terms of the authenticity of it, in a way it doesn’t matter because it sparks our imaginations,” Ludwig said.
This waltz contains many virtuosic passages and a mesmerizing coda, making it a favourite with audiences. It is often considered one of Chopin's most important waltzes and is also one of the most challenging to play. [1] [3] [4]
