5 Note that in the text below (and in McKee's book) published and unpublished refer only to Chopin's lifetime. Five of the waltzes that Chopin left unpublished were published with opus numbers in the decade following his death (opp. 69 and 70). Also note that McKee's listing of unpublished waltzes does not include the E-flat major Sostenuto, which has been claimed both as a mazurka and a waltz.
