【Durand – Waltz No.1 | Piano Solo | Legendary Piano Collection】

🍁✨The temperature here in Japan is dropping and it's getting quite chilly. How is it in your area?
This is my piano performance of Waltz No.1 by Émile Durand, a French composer, theorist, and influential figure in the French musical tradition.

Durand is closely associated with the legacy of Éditions Durand, one of France’s most renowned classical music publishing houses, later known for publishing the works of Debussy, Ravel, and many major French composers.
His connection to this musical heritage reflects the refined elegance and French sensibility heard in his own compositions.

Durand’s waltzes are poetic miniatures — graceful, lyrical, and filled with delicate charm. Instead of dramatic virtuosity, this piece shines with French subtlety and refined lightness, like dancing in soft afternoon sunlight.

This performance is part of my Legendary Piano Collection, highlighting not only famous masterpieces but also beautiful gems that deserve wider appreciation.

🎹 Please enjoy this elegant and poetic waltz by Durand.

🎧 Please try listening with earphones as this will give you a better sense of the sound.
