Waltz No. 10 B Minor, Op. 69 No. 2 Sheet Music (Piano)

Waltz No. 10 B Minor, Op. 69 No. 2 by Frédéric Chopin is a much-loved piece by pianists around the world. Rich in emotion and flowing elegance, this piece continues to fascinate audiences with its expressive depth.

This waltz in B minor belongs to a pair of waltzes (the other one being in F minor), both penned around 1829 but not published until after Chopin's death in 1855. It is believed that Chopin might have even intended for these waltzes not to be published at all, as the manuscripts were marked with the note 'Pour publier après ma mort' (To be published after my death).

Musically, the Waltz No. 10 B Minor, Op. 69 No. 2 exemplifies Chopin's unique treatment of the waltz form. In contrast to the often joyful and dance-like character of many waltzes, this piece is full of melancholy and longing.

Key musical features of this piece include:

• Melancholic main theme in B minor
• Modulations to related keys for contrasting sections
• Lyricism and expressive depth, typical of Chopin’s style
• Use of rubato (slight speeding up and slowing down of tempo)
