Here’s the composer, Dale Morris, playing it.

You’ll hear that he’s using a lot more ornamentation, double stops, etc. than were in the basic version I taught you today.

Morris was a well-known and successful contest player, but this recording must not have been at a contest—he’s chosen a luxurious slow tempo that would never fit with two other songs into a four-minute round! It’s rare to hear a waltz played this slow in general, actually, as this would also be too slow for dancers.

But it’s such a beautiful melody… why wouldn’t he show that off with this spacious tempo in a stage performance? :)

Here’s the version I taught in class today.

If you’re playing the lower octave for the B part, hang tight—I demo that at the end of the video.
