Lent (slowly), ♩ = 76. A free three-part form: A (measures 1-40), B (measures 41-61), Aʹ (measures 62-74).
The characteristic feature of this epilogue (finale) is that, within a slow tempo, with a limited dynamic range primarily pp and p, fragments of the preceding waltzes appear. Consequently, there are studies that interpret it as music of 'recollection,' and it possesses content that sets it apart from the other waltzes. It is also considered to be the most challenging waltz in terms of both performance interpretation and execution itself. Since the performer cannot play this piece in a state of excessive relaxation or dreaminess, in this piece, not only a sense of tonality and atonality, but also sustained concentration is required, particularly by focusing on the sections where fragments from up to the Seventh Waltz recur.
