Chopin's posthumous Waltz in A Minor (B.150) is one of his most direct and expressive miniatures — a simple, singing melody over a gentle waltz accompaniment with a touching, autumnal quality. On a steel tongue drum the unadorned melodic line flows naturally, the instrument's warm sustain giving every long note a quietly mournful resonance. Accessible and deeply satisfying to play.
How to play Waltz in A Minor — Chopin on a tongue drum
The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major scale, counting up from the lowest tongue. A dot above a number raises it one octave; a dot below lowers it. The small teal letters show the matching key in the Tongue Drum Online player.
Start slowly, one phrase at a time. Let each note ring out fully before striking the next — the long decay is the whole character of the instrument. This is a easy arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Waltz in A Minor — Chopin.
