The unidentified waltz was discovered in the Morgan Library and Museum’s vault in New York.
While classifying new items, curator Robinson McClellan came across the unusual text, which was dated between 1830 and 1835.
After that, he collaborated with a top Chopin specialist to verify the score.
The handwriting features Chopin’s characteristic bass clef, although it is not signed by him.
Despite a few small rhythmic and notation problems, Mr. McClellan stated that he is certain Chopin is the composer of the waltz.
The one thing we know for sure is that it was written by Chopin himself, on a piece of paper he wrote himself, he told Newshour.
The fact that it’s music he wrote isn’t totally certain.
Many people who have heard it already have the gut feeling that this sounds like Chopin, and I am approximately 98% certain.
He went on: “The music has some unusual elements; the stormy introduction is a touch unexpected but not wholly out of character.
The melody, in my opinion, is where you truly sense Chopin’s influence.
The news outlet broke the story after recording the waltz with famous pianist Lang Lang.
