Thank you for this comment.

> Maybe they could have instead worked with some local cultural organization in Poland, which could have made the debut a significant local cultural thing?

I suppose the NYTimes could not be bothered to look for someone to work with in Poland or Europe generally (France would be another option), which is, indeed, a shame. In my home town Kraków we have a wonderful chamber music collective which performs music from this very period on historical piano fortes, so very much the kind of instruments Chopin would play on himself. I contacted them immediately after reading this article and before your comment appeared. I am hopeful we will hear the piece performed by them very soon!

Here it is performed on a square piano from 1835, so just right within the time range which this very waltz is being dated to.
