    Very elegant, and with (again) a more viennese accentuation, but the frivolous and charming french mood is always evident... bravissimo Luis, beautiful performance!

      Very "silly" (frivolous) waltz, isn't it? Even more than the first one. Hehe

      ​​​​​@@LuisKolodintypical expression of an epoch... probably more inclined to humor, happiness, and also to brilliant and " mondain" feelings...
      I think that the brilliance of the Waltzes and in general of so many salon-like Pieces after 1850 could be the result of the prolonged tendency and even of the need of light feelings that in classicism had found their realization into the scherzos and the last movements of the piano Sonatas...
      Romanticism has brought such an importance only to very dramatic, or poetic, or troubled feelings...so, the brilliant feelings have searched their way into the musical forms across important and light Repertoires....

      @alessandropelizzoli6613 I guess a waltz NEEDS to be superficial music. It's part of the style. The more complex waltz I'm aware is Chopin's Op.69 slow waltz, with lots of chromatism, a very audacious harmony for a waltz. Too "serious". Then there are the parodies made by Ravel. And it comes to my mind the highly modern approach of Francisco Mignone's Valsas de Esquina. Those were street music (corner waltzes, played at the corner OF the street) but with daring harmonies and virtuoso modern piano writings (sometimes harmonies can ressemble Schoenberg, in specific passages, though the musical content is very popular). I guess the most modern Valsa de Esquina is the last one, which unfortunately I didn't study yet. You completely loose the reference of measures and beats in that sumptuous piano writing. But besides those, waltz needs to be simple and superficial.

      ​@@LuisKolodinare you sure that superficial things are really so superficial?
      Nothing Is more useful than...superficiality ( to quote in my own words Oscar Wilde...).
      And i have to disagree about the Need to be superficial as a feature of the Waltz...there are so many important Waltzes with a Deep and particular meaning ( Chopin Op 34 n 2, Tchaikowski Valse Sentimentale, Sibelius Valse Triste etc....).

      @alessandropelizzoli6613 SAD/SLOW waltzes. And they can't barely be danced as waltzes, they are stylized.
      No judgement. Would superficiality be bad at all? Just a matter of taste. Pop music is usually very "superficial". I like complexity and structural developments (as a kid, I avoided Durand 1st waltz in my book because it seemed too simple hehe) but sometimes people just want to cheer with pleasant music.
