An act of social generosity may have prompted Chopin’s initial foray into the impromptu genre, but this was not the only genre in which he was motivated to behave in this way. He particularly enjoyed giving manuscripts of his waltzes as gifts, and because of this withheld from publication more than half of the waltzes that he composed. Chopin presented manuscripts of the three waltzes on this recording to multiple acquaintances (we know of at least three manuscripts of Op 69 No 1, and two each of Op 70 No 3 and the Waltz in A flat major, KKIVa/13). The Waltz in D flat major, Op 70 No 3, dates from Chopin’s Warsaw period, and it indexes his nascent romantic life. In a letter to a friend, Chopin confided that the low melody that begins its trio was inspired by his (alas unrequited) crush on the young singer, Konstancja Gładkowska.
