Description
Waltz No. 10 in G major comes from Brahms's set of Sixteen Waltzes, Op. 39, originally written for piano four hands. Though barely half a minute long, it moves with a light, bouncing triple-meter rhythm and a cheerful melody. Its modest scale and difficulty make it accessible for beginners looking to learn the buoyant feel and simple harmonic language of a waltz.
Sixteen waltzes Brahms composed in 1865 and dedicated to Hanslick, combining Viennese waltz elegance with his own characteristic depth.

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897)
Johannes Brahms was a composer born in Hamburg who rose to prominence after being championed by Robert and Clara Schumann, later settling in Vienna. He fused classical formal rigor with Romantic expressiveness across symphonies and chamber music, and in his later years wrote many introspective piano miniatures. This site includes 25 of his works, such as intermezzi, waltzes, and ballades.
