TC Kan: Waltz No. 3 in C-sharp minor

Chopin's 24 Preludes satisfy so many different tastes in a single opus. from the (mostly) serene A Major (no. 7) to the whimsical F Major (no. 23), elegant and moving Bb Major (No. 21), the energetic but unsettling G Minor (no. 22) and the restless finale, D Minor (no. 24), 

One could easily mistake the Preludes for being minimalistic in scope. But unlike other expansive works, whether by Chopin himself or other great composers, these preludes cover enormous territory: in traditional sonata form, the composer settles on a very limited number of themes and then expands and transforms these basic ideas into elaborate musical tapestries woven with but two or three threads. Chopin here, though, invents not two or three key themes but several dozen of them, and then let’s each one free to follow its own direction.

Dirk Maassen composes wonderful short piano pieces inspired by contemporary composers such as Yann Tiersen and Ludovico Einaudi. 

I took on his invitation to record any of his piano pieces, and told him I would record 'Addio'... just to find out that there was no score! ... So after working directly with him the score was created and here is my take on it.
