Piano Waltz in Bb - "Vienna" (with sheet music)

Hi all!

This here is my first attempt to write a waltz for piano and my first attempt to transcribe it into sheet music. This piece was composed in the piano roll of a DAW. Please excuse any mistakes or unprofessional parts in the score, since I am neither a piano player nor am trained in music Theory.

It is my first waltz, so I tried to keep this piece simple and understandable.

The structure of the piece is as follows:

Short Intro - A - B - C - A' - D - B' - C - A''

A: A rather quiet presentation of the main theme

B: A lively intermediate theme

😄 A dramatic theme in a minor (?) that develops into A'

A': A louder, festive presentation of the main theme

😧 A development into B'

B': A simple variation of B with a few more trills

A'': The first 2/3 are from A', the last 1/3 is from A.

Thank you for listening & I hope you enjoy!

Hi, Alex. 

This is a delightful, enchanting waltz!
The sections flow so seamlessly into each other, that it's hard to notice when the piece enters a new section, unless one is paying really close attention -- which in itself is difficult when the piece is this hypnotic. 

There are parts where the hand-span requirements seem pretty jaw-dropping. The span is huge. Especially in the parallel octaves section, where occasionally notes in the right hand need to play notes much greater than an octave apart. Possible, but extremely difficult, it seems. But that's about my only... 'gripe' shall we say. 

Anyways, keep up the good work.

Hi Sam,

thank you very much for listening! Yes, there are some difficult parts unfortunately. I'll try to keep the "playability" in mind when I will compose my next piece.
