It should be above Level 10. It is already a concert repertoire and belongs to the professional level. Chopin composed a total of 21 waltzes in his life, which can be divided into two major categories in terms of expression: 1. One type is an idealization of actual dance, while the other type is a lyric poem in the form of a waltz. For example: "Magnificent Grand Waltz in E flat major", "Puppy" Waltz in D flat major" and other works belong to the former type, while works such as "Waltz in C sharp minor" belong to the latter category. The Gorgeous Waltz in E flat major was composed by Chopin in 1831. It is a highly skilled, gorgeous, brilliant and passionate concert waltz. Schumann said that this piece is Chopin's "waltz that beats the body and mind". The music is divided into five parts. The first part is Presto. It starts with a 4-bar introduction that repeats the same sound. It has a strong rhythm and is like the sound of horns, with a brilliant color. The waltz theme that followed was passionate and full of vitality. The second part uses expressive techniques such as big jumping intervals and leading half-tone ascending, the melody is stretched and smooth, and it expresses gorgeous and bright colors. The third part has a large number of rests, giving the lively melody a deft and delicate character. The semitone progression in the fourth part is sweet and comfortable, gentle and lyrical. The fifth part is the reappearance of the first part, and finally the theme fragments are reproduced, and the music ends in a warm and cheerful atmosphere.
This first waltz published by the author during his lifetime is the most lively and gorgeous one. It is easily reminiscent of Weber's "Invitation to Dance" and brings people into a cheerful dance scene. In addition to the introduction and outro, the music can be divided into Five parts: the first part is mainly in the key of E flat major, the second and third parts are mainly in the key of D major, the fourth part is in the key of G flat major, and the fifth part returns to the key of E flat major.
