This waltz took a lot of inspiration from Chopin's posthumous Waltz in A minor. I hope that it is different enough from the waltz that you can have a unique experience listening to it. In the midst of the cruel health crisis of COVID-19, artists and musicians are drawing more inspiration than ever to create, and global warming seems to be slowed down. However, it is crucial to remember that over 250,000 people (as of publishing) have lost their lives to the virus. That is what the middle sections in the major keys in the midst of the sections in A minor represent to me.
