Liszt: Valse-impromptu S.213

In 1842, Liszt revised his Albumblatt in Waltz Form as Petite valse favorite. It is believed that the Valse-impromptu is a further completion of this work, dating from 1850. The original piece was inscribed "In memory of St. Petersburg" and dedicated to Marie von Kalergis.

This impromptu waltz is gracefully performed in a three-part form. With a performance time of approximately five minutes and an approachable musical idea, it has been cherished and frequently performed by many virtuoso pianists.
