Fryderyk Chopin: Waltz in A Minor

I am wishing all my readers a very Happy New Year! Let 2022 bring only happiness to all of us. To say goodbye to 2021, I have chosen this piece of elegant simplicity by Fryderyk Chopin (Nocturne Op. 9 No.2). Though quite melancholy, it is not without tender touches of hope.
