The nickname "Minute" Waltz, was intended to mean "small" in French, in the sense of a "miniature" waltz. It was added by the first publisher, not Chopin. Chopin did not intend this waltz to be played in one minute as is sometimes thought.

Chopin's is said to have got the inspiration for this waltz watching a small dog chase its tail, and named the piece Valse du petit chien, meaning "The Little Dog Waltz"
