This is occasionally a misunderstanding "Minute" refers to minute as in 60 seconds, but the publisher Breitkopf & Härtel in the first edition 1847 gave the waltz the nickname (not Chopin) "Minute" as in the sense of "small" or "miniature" waltz. Chopin did NOT intend this waltz to be played in just one minute. Typical performances of this waltz last between one and a half and two and a half minutes. "Minute Waltz" can easily be played in 60 seconds by rushing through the lyrical middle section, but no pianist with a love of Chopin's music would dream of doing that, and no listener with a love of Chopin's music would expect them to.

This is a piano recording demonstration using Apogee's audio interface "Duet" which I recommend. To see the recording chain used to produce this recording please see my demonstration video: [ Ссылка ]
