Grand Romantic Waltzes B.1

 

Grand Romantic Waltz No.1 in A Major 

Catalog number: B.1

Average Duration: 5.5 Minutes 

Difficulty: 5/10 

DOC: January 2023

 

This piece is my first large waltz. I created an early manuscript in the May of 2022, but I wasn't satisfied with the product, so I redid several parts. Overall, it's an early work that is reminiscent of both Chopin and Strauss waltzes. 

Grand Romantic Waltz No.2 in A-flat Major 

Catalog number: B.1

Average Duration: 6 Minutes 

Difficulty: 6/10 

DOC: November 2023

 

This waltz has a brief trill and fanfare intro before going straight into the main theme. It follows an AB*CDCEFEFGAB coda form. 

The asterisk by the AB signifies an optional repeat. A fast tempo and few stops make this piece rather difficult and more suited to mid to late intermediate players. 


Waltz No.3 in D Major 

Catalog number: B.1

Average Duration: 3.5 Minutes 

Difficulty: 4/10 

DOC: January 2024

 

This waltz begins with a brief introduction with a fanfare. From there the piece follows a strict ABACDCEAB form. The main theme is rather simple but quite memorable. The B theme and the middle sections speed up in tempo and modulate to various keys.
