1 Introduction
2 First waltz theme, a flowing melody followed by some acrobatic arpeggios.
Waltz in Eb Grande Valse Brillante. (Chopin) (Waltz)
1 After a fanfare-like opening of repeated Bb quavers, this first main theme erupts.

3 The 3rd tune is more lyrical, in Db.

2 A livelier tune still in B minor but tending towards D major.
3 The brief sweet contrasting tune in B major.
Waltz No.3 in A minor Op.34 No.2 (Chopin) (Waltz)
1 The main theme is a painful low lament , played by the left hand, with chordal accompaniment in the right hand.
2 The tune cheers up a little bit as it switches to the right hand.
3 This theme in C major, is in a happier mood than the opening theme in the minor key.
4 This 4th theme, in A major is serenely beautiful, a lovely contrast to the despondent opening.
Waltz No.6 in Db "Minute Waltz" (Chopin) (Waltz)
1 The first theme is a series of rapid quaver passages around the dominant note, Ab,
2 The second tune emerges as a slower melody, but still centred around the dominant Ab.
