Lhis score, which included the words “Waltz” in French in the text at the head, was found in a file by the institution’s curator this spring, the day reported.
“I was like, ‘What’s going on here? “What could it be?” New York Times the curator, Robinson McClellan, said he “didn’t recognize the music”.
He said he wasn’t sure at first if the waltz was composed by Frédéric Chopin after he photographed the score and played it at home on a piano.
But Robinson McClellan later consulted an expert on the composer at the University of Pennsylvania, and the Morgan Library finally came to the conclusion that the waltz was genuine after examining the ink and paper.
The calligraphy also matched that of Frédéric Chopin, including a bass clef as well as scribbles reminiscent of the Polish genius who died in France in 1849.
According to the Morgan Library, the music dates back to between 1830 and 1835, when Frédéric Chopin was entering his twenties.
The piece has a wonderful opening and the famous Chinese pianist Lang Lang has said that it has “a wonderful darkness that transforms into something positive.” “
