Description
This waltz opens Louis Gobbaerts' salon collection Les etoiles d'or (Golden Stars), written by the 19th-century Belgian composer. True to its salon-music roots, it offers a light triple-meter rhythm and an approachable melody. Brief and modest in note count, it suits intermediate players learning the characteristic lilt and singing right-hand line of a waltz.
Waltzes in elegant triple time, including Chopin's concert waltzes alongside works by a range of other composers.
