Frederic Chopin – Grande Valse Brilliant Opus 18 in E-flat Major
This is Chopin’s first published waltz, in 1834. This piece became particularly famous when, in 1909, Igor Stravinsky made an orchestral arrangement of this waltz for Sergei Diaghilev's ballet Les Sylphides.
The following video is the full performance of the piece by Valentina Lisitsa. You can also watch Lang-Lang’s partial performance of this piece while ballet dancers execute a modern choreography for it.
Welcome to Community Music Centers of Atlanta
CMC Atlanta is a music education company founded in 2007 as the L5P Music Center. In the nearly 20 years since our founding, we've grown from offering music lessons at a single site to a network of local community music schools (Decatur, Dunwoody, Inman Park, Little 5 Points and Brookhaven) that offers an array of innovative, but historically-informed music education programs to students of all ages and skill levels.
