Many different composers throughout music history have written waltzes - from Viennese through Russian and others. What is your favorite? I like Khachaturian - Masquerade Suite - Waltz for it's chromatically non-functionally moving bass line and an intoxicatingly dreamy melody.

A Christmasy fantasy piece I recently composed. Let me know what you think of it!

Sibelius' Valse Triste. Though I do also really like Russian Waltzes like those from Khatchaturian and Shostakovich.

Gran Vals for guitar, by Francisco Tárrega (jump to 1:28 if you want to skip the intro).

I can't say it's my favorite, but i like. I think it's not known so much here; for guitar ;

I have noticed that many of your pieces seem to be kind of slow and flowing moderately. It would be great to hear a more energetic and up-beat type of composition from you to kind of break out of your usual routine when it comes to composing. It might also be quite a bit more exciting to hear because it might force you to come up with some melodic ideas with maybe a bit more vitality and terseness. That's just my suggestion and I guess a kind of response to what you have presented here. Thanks for sharing!

Much enjoyed this. Every part has a spright in their step and a little attitude as well!
