Déodat de Séverac ： Holidays From Book 1 Romantic Waltz

Included in Séverac’s Holidays, Book 1, this is an elegant and approachable waltz. Over a gentle triple-meter flow, a songful melody is set against a light accompaniment, creating a graceful atmosphere with a touch of nostalgia. Listen closely to the passages in which the roles of melody and accompaniment shift. In performance, avoid making the left hand too heavy and bring out the right-hand melody with a soft, singing tone. Maintaining a clear sense of meter while allowing a natural flexibility in response to the breathing of each phrase will further enhance its romantic character.
