Frédéric Chopin composed this Waltz in E major around 1830. It was found after his death, in a folder containing some musical works that he didn't want to be published. It was first printed in 1871/72, and due to the fact that it received no Op. posth. number, it is usually referred to by its Brown Catalogue number, B. 44. It also appears in Kobylańska's catalogue as KK IVa/12, and in Chomiński (pl)'s as P1/12.
