Notes
This formally simple piece must have found its way into many Parisian salons in the 19th century. This Waltz echoes strains of Vienna, which in the 19th century was a major center of interest in the guitar, second only to Paris.

In measure 17-18, it would be appropraite to bring out the dissonances on the downbeat. Accent these notes slightly and give each a slight tenuto. Keep the meter of this Waltz brisk, graceful and dance-like. Keeping with 19th century music performance practice, be sure to begin the trills (measure 33-34 and 52-53) with the lower note.

65 Measures. 5 Pages. 3/8 Time Signature. Key of C . 4 Barre Chords. Triplets. Trills. Easy Guitar Piece.
