PeterthePapercomPoser Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkho Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Sibelius' Valse Triste. Though I do also really like Russian Waltzes like those from Khatchaturian and Shostakovich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterthePapercomPoser Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 This is one of Chopin's less famous waltzes - The Waltz in Ab major Opus 42. I heard it for the first time at a concert, at a very fast tempo, performed as an encore by a touring Chinese pianist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
