Description
This collection of seven Ländler draws on the gentle, triple-time folk dance rhythms of the Austrian countryside, with simple, warm melodies throughout. At around four minutes, it is compact, though maintaining a steady dance-like pulse throughout still calls for advanced players.
Waltzes in elegant triple time, including Chopin's concert waltzes alongside works by a range of other composers.
