Though none of Chopin's works were actually intended to be danced to, this especially lively waltz does appear to be appropriate for use in the ballroom. Composd in 1840, it is often considered to be one of the finest and most perfect of Chopin's many waltzes. Indeed, it was apparently one of President Harry Truman's favorites!
