Chopin's Waltz

When I was a kid of about ten I had a classical music interactive activity book. My favorite composer was Chopin (who’s still my favorite composer) but what’s interesting is that his page showed a scene of him playing the piano for his lover George Sand and a puppy, who was dancing to the music.

The sheet music on Chopin’s piano was titled “Little Dog Waltz”, and when you used the interactive pen to tap on the sheet music, Chopin’s “Minute Waltz” Op. 64 No. 1 in D Flat Major would play.

That’s why, for the longest time, I thought Minute Waltz was called Little Dog Waltz, and I didn’t realize that it was called Minute Waltz until probably high school. It’s a fun picture though, a little dog dancing to Chopin’s Minute Waltz.
