Waldteufel's lush Skaters' Waltz is in fact 4 waltzes, composed in 1882 and inspired by the skating rink at the Bois de Boulogne in Paris. After a swirling introduction, the graceful waltz themes are interspersed with delicate quaver passages, and beautifully depict the skaters gliding and leaping on the ice. Grade: 7-8 Duration: 7:15
