Dang Truong Giang plays Waltz in A minor Op. Posth by Frederic Chopin (Classic Guitar)

This delicate, haunting Waltz in another work that adds to the mystery and mastery of Chopin. This Waltz has long been a favorite of amateur pianists, as its one of the least difficult pieces of Chopins to play. Well, the NOTES may not be hard, but the FEELING? Rarely is this piece performed with such sensitivity, transparency and grace. Now, for the mystery part: There is a lot of confusion over the title and date of this Waltz. It was published after Chopins death, and therefore carries no opus number (It is not to be confused with the Waltz in A Minor, Op. 34, No. 2). In fact, the most popular published score didnt appear until 1955! So, i try to transcript this beautiful piece for classic guitar solo. Hope you enjoy!
