Wekerlin, Der Tanz

One final entry in what I suppose might be called the "international series." Wekerlin's Der Tanz (~1875), like the Alsatian Laendler (link to that post) is a set of waltzes for piano four-hands, and here again I have supplied the prima part along with just the left hand of the secunda part.

The first strain of n1 is in the manner of a musette-style trio, not a more typical lyrical or promenade opening. The play of ^7-^6 with ^6-^5, however, is certainly characteristic. (Examples of musette or hurdy-gurdy bass passages in the Schubert dances include D145ns9 & 10, D366n3, D734n15, D790ns5 & 7.)
