Eight of Chopin's waltzes appeared in his lifetime, the E minor waltz after his death in 1868

Riyad Mammadov Performs Chopin's Waltz in E Minor for Piano.

Chopin is the author of some 20 waltzes. Only 8 were published in the composer's lifetime, and another 9 entered the complete edition, which appeared after the death of Frédéric Nikolayevich.

The exquisite E minor waltz that we hear in Riyad's performance is among those works of Chopin that were published posthumously: it came out in 1868.
