Great Waltzes for Solo Piano: 34 Works by Debussy, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Grieg and Others

Mention "waltz," and we automatically think of favorite romantic music by Chopin or Johann Strauss. But waltzes by those two composers are only a small sampling of the riches enjoyed by lovers of the phenomenally popular dance that originated around 1800, dominated turn-of-the-century Europe, and is still popular today. Now, in a single volume, pianists on all levels can enjoy the rich literature of a dance form that inspired very different pieces from such very diverse composers as Bartók, Beethoven, Debussy, Fauré, Grieg, Hindemith, Joplin, Schubert, Scriabin, and Tchaikovsky.
