Description

As suggested by the title, this waltz embodies a contemporary style and sound. Composed in D minor, the subtly dissonant harmonies and gentle chromaticism in the melody produce an attractive sound that will appeal to intermediate students. The melody in the right hand provides a splendid opportunity for lyrical and expressive performance, while the left-hand chords serve as an excellent resource for analysis. Collectively, they form a delightful solo with significant performance potential.
