Chopin: New Waltz in A Minor
Yesterday, news came that a new Chopin waltz was discovered. As this is a short piece, I understand that it's more like a fragment.
You can read about the discovery and hear Lang Lang play the work below.

The origin for this recording is that an online forum member heard the above video and wondered if it sounded like Modern D, and they challenged me to learn this little fragment. So I did it yesterday in 90 minutes and played it by ear.
Using his settings on Modern D, I was able to create this performance. Enjoy!
Keyboard: Kawai VPC1, playing Modern D.
