Topic: More of Melartin E. - Butterfly Waltz, Op. 22 No. 17

More of Melartin E. - Butterfly Waltz, Op. 22 No. 17. This piece is originally from a series of incidental music for a stage play of Sleeping Beauty by Zacharias Topelius, 1818 - 1898, swedish talking finnish writer, author, historian, journalist and poet.
The earliest “Sleeping Beauty” fairytale appears in oral tradition around the 1300s, different versions.

Hope you enjoy, If so, one more could be coming 

Best wishes,

Stig

Stig,

What a waltz! It sparkles delightfully under your fingers. Melartin is a new composer to me and you inspire me to learn more about him and his music.

Thank you again for sharing your musical gifts!

My best,
Robert

Wow, thanks for uploading this, Melartin was new to me. Very attractive and charming pieces (also listened to the Pastorale). Plenty of scores available on IMSLP, I'm gonna have to check them out.
