In the repositories of the library and Morgan Museum in New York, a rare musical manuscript was found, which is probably owned by Frederick Chopin. This was reported by BBC . The unique discovery was made by the curator of the Robinson McClellan library, who during the cataloging of new collections was found by an unknown waltz, dated a period between 1830 and 1835.
McClelan immediately began to cooperate with leading experts on Chopin's work to confirm the authenticity of the work. Although the manuscript is not signed, it contains stylistic features, such as the bass key that corresponds to its handwriting. The manuscript was also created on paper that the composer used in his work.
Interestingly, Waltz contains some rhythmic inaccuracies that are not inherent in chopin's skills. Despite this, McClellan and experts are convinced that this work has a Chopin's handwriting. "I am 98% convinced that the manuscript belongs to Chopin," said the curator. "This waltz, although it has an atypical, slightly tumultuous beginning, retains its typical melody for him."
Scientists are currently planning to explore the composition in more detail to finally confirm its authorship. If it is a Chopin's work, discovery can be a significant event in the world of music, adding to the heritage of a large composer another unknown masterpiece.
