The piece, set in the key of A minor, stands out for its 'very stormy, brooding opening section' before transitioning to a melancholy melody more characteristic of Chopin, McClellan explained.
Artur Szklener, director of the Fryderyk Chopin Institute, stated that the document is consistent with the ink and paper Chopin used during his early years in Paris.
In terms of the authenticity of it, in a way it doesn't matter because it sparks our imaginations. A discovery like this highlights the fact that classical music is very much a living art form.
Szklener noted that while the piece evokes the 'brilliant style' that made Chopin famous, it also features elements unusual for his compositions.
