An array of waltzes, precisely ordered according to tempo – from slow to fast. No joke! Playlist curated by Arno Lücker.

All that to say, you should always begin with a slow waltz, then steadily increase in speed; just the way it goes in this unique playlist, in which a selection of waltzes is arranged strictly by tempo. Starting with Brahms’ famous Waltz in A Major, each subsequent waltz is a tick more sprightly — right up until what’s probably the fastest waltz to be found on IDAGIO: the Valse oubliée No. 1 by Franz Liszt.
