Frédéric Chopin's Grande Valse In Ab Major Op.42 is considered by many to be amongst the finest of the composer's waltzes. Although none of Chopin's works were actually intended to be dancedto this lively waltz does appear to be appropriate for use in the ballroom.This Henle Urtext Edition has been edited by Ewald Zimmermann and includes fingering by Hans-Martin Theopold.

Chopin's waltzes were – contrary to, say, those by Schubert – no longer conceived for dancing or for the ballroom. These pieces assumed the form and function of idealized concert waltzes, which Chopin enjoyed performing in the elegant and exclusive art-loving salons of Paris. A particularly eloquent example is the “Grande Valse brillante” op. 18 which, with its multiplicity of charming melodic ideas and moods – now gently rocking, now overwhelming, now again triumphantly jubilant – became one of Chopin's most popular waltzes. The medium level of difficulty allows even less proficient pianists to become familiar with the “brilliant” side of Chopin through this waltz.
