Waltz in D flat major, Op. 70, No. 3 by Frédéric Chopin
Chopin completed this short waltz for piano in 1829, but the Op. 70 collection would not be published until 1855, six years after the death of the composer. Ironically, the third waltz in the Op. 70 collection was the first to be completed, with the No. 2 waltz being written in 1842, and the No. 1 waltz being written in 1832.
Chopin was living in Warsaw in 1829, and based on correspondence written at the time, the inspiration for this waltz was the unsuccessful marriage proposal between himself and a Polish singer named Konstancja Gładkowska.
This waltz is in a single movement.
