Waltzes

by Mily Balakirev

Composed 1900–1906
Published 1906
Works 7

Seven waltzes composed between 1900 and 1906, ranging from the bravura showpiece of No. 1 in G major ('Valse di bravura') to the brooding No. 2 in F minor ('Valse mélancolique') and the sparkling No. 3 in D major ('Valse-impromptu'). No. 4 in B♭ major is the most overtly concert-style. The final three waltz the listener through rich late-Romantic harmonic language with strong Russian colouring.
