The “Waltz in D flat major”, opus 64, No. 1, popularly known as the “Minute Waltz” is a waltz for solo piano by Frédéric Chopin.

The piece is given the tempo marking “Molto vivace”. He wrote it in 1847 and published it in Leipzig the same year, as the first of the opus 64 Trois Valses, dedicating it to “To Mme. la Comtesse Delphine Potocka”. Since the second waltz is in the key of C-sharp minor, the “Minute” waltz contrasts by being in the enharmonic parallel major key (D-flat major).
