He was a master of writing melodies which seem very simple yet which are memorable and catchy. This waltz, one of several from Gold and Silver, needs to be played fast enough for it to have a one-in-a-bar lilt Its a delight to play on the violin, partly because of the way the bowing works out: on the long tied notes (eg. bb. 5-6) you can travel the whole length ofthe bow and then play the two crotchets alternately atthe tip (b. 6) and at the heel (b. 8).
