Waltz in A minor (Chopin) → Waltz in A minor, B. 150 (Chopin) – To distinguish it from Waltz in A minor (Chopin, rediscovered 2024). The present sources also identify it as B. 150. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 05:07, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose this A minor Waltz is rather famous and standard repertoire for beginning pianists, in my mind it is a clear primary topic. Its dominance is such, that a simple google search of "Waltz in A minor" (without mentioning Chopin) brings up only this waltz. The rediscovered one is a fragmented sketch, which I doubt will retain much relevance after its discovery. As for the sources: IMSLP always includes cataloguing numbers, even for Renaissance works, in which such catalogues are essentially unknown outside academia; AllMusic is AllMusic... and it looks like the Chopin National Edition just uses "Waltz in A minor".
