Frederic Chopin's Waltz in D-flat major, Op. 64, No. 1 hearkens back to the style brillant. The dazzling, but insubstantial expression acquired new characteristics. Firstly, a succinctness of utterance, secondly, the somewhat melancholy tenderness with which the waltz’s trio is expressed. But the coda of the Waltz, through its terseness, breaks with brillant practice and acts as a point of culmination.
