As a pianist, it's very interesting to see how this piece can be adapted to the guitar without losing too much of its musical texture and complexity. Dyens managed a very nice compromise, and the result is very poetic.

Bye. The all time greatest classical guitar arranger

Roland Dyens deserves to be more known by the public. Not alive anymore, he still serves us the best performances. Besides effortless catching the tempo through the whole piece, his soulful playing makes this a unique document. Who are the ones with a thumb down: Probably the purists that can only hear Chopin played on the piano. Dyens could have played a broomstick and the result even then would have been astonishing!

How I love this waltz of Chopin and here played so beautifully... with a bit of yearning and melancholy with a touch of joy.

Merci, Roland, pour cette merveilleuse adaptation de Chopin.

One of the most beautiful music I have ever heard, and also well performed. Congratulations.

for those who ask for the transcription in standard notation only, it is available in Roland Dyens in "Mes Arrangements A L'amiable", published by Editions Henry Lemoine, France.

Roland Dyens est un génie absolu....Il est et restera un des guitaristes les plus grands de notre époque, je le trouve génial dans la qualité de ses arrangements, ses interprétations , c'est en outre un sacré pédagogue, je l'ai vu plusieurs fois en concert, et il aime à présenter Chopin comme un jazzmen, il est drôle et humain....Que la guitare est grandie avec un tel Monsieur!

Everytime perfect! Every little sound full of meaning!

i play this on the piano. and wow, this sounds amazing.

こんなに上手い人は聞いたことがなかった。まるでピアノの流れ。ショパンは音が流れる様に美しい。世界一。

This piece for me has something of a spanish dance, the main melody is quite 'seductive' while quite ironic, and even nostalgic, as are every spanish piece for guitar. It is the best Chopin piece adapted to the guitar.

The treasures Roland left us with.

In my opinion this is the best transcription of this piece, beautiful performance.It gives me hope of a better future. Thanks for posting. Mr Lộc from HoaBinh Corp.Danang city - VietNam.

I didn't expect that I would like the guitar version way much better than the piano one.. never thought this can sound so good ..

I play this beautiful song on piano, but hearing your version brought tears to my eyes, of course it's written for piano, but I thought you played it with passion & the key changes were so touching, I loved it. Thankyou X

What a great player he was!! I was blessed to hear him in person a few years back, and he was spellbinding.

Quelle merveille, on croit entendre le piano. Merci du fond du coeur pour ce beau moment musical Monsieur Dyens. Musicalement. Philippe

Mr Dyens, félicitations pour votre interprétation personnelle de cette merveilleuse Valse de Chopin. Vous êtes un très grand professeur et vos compositions sont remarquables.

Beautiful and Speechless ! Thank you for playing.

Exceptional and indescribable. That's just the transcription. The playing is sublime.
