Fortunately, this episode prompted me to dust off my CD of Chopin waltzes.

The piano tuner folks were playing "Waltz for piano No. 7 in C sharp minor, Op. 64, No. 2." Excerpt.
(BTW, Op. 64, No. 1 is the famous Minute Waltz.)

The pianist dressed as Chopin in the courtyard was playing "Waltz for piano No. 1 in E flat major, Op. 18." Excerpt.

You may have heard these played in many cartoons, as I did when I was growing up.

Hope this helps, Mrs. N!

Sincerely,
Sen. Claghorn

ETA: Any decent collection of Chopin piano waltzes should have all three.

Tribe strikes again!
You've been warned, so don't complain.
