This arrangement of Chopin’s well-known waltz transfers the original piano writing to the marimba while preserving its lyrical character and formal clarity. Voicing, articulation, and texture are adapted to the idiomatic possibilities of the instrument, with careful attention to melodic projection and accompaniment balance.
The aim is not to reinterpret the work, but to render it transparent and musically coherent within the sound world of the marimba, allowing the cantabile quality and natural rubato of the original to remain central.
