Dang Truong Giang performs Chopin’s haunting Waltz in A minor Op. Posth on classical guitar. This piece is known for its delicate beauty and is a favorite among amateur pianists. Despite its simplicity in notes, it requires great sensitivity, transparency, and grace to perform. There is some confusion regarding the title and date of this Waltz, as it was published posthumously without an opus number. The most popular published score didn’t appear until 1955. Dang Truong Giang has transcribed this piece for solo classical guitar. Enjoy!
