The Brooklyn Waltz

The Brooklyn Waltz is a simple etude modeled on Bela Bartok’s Mikrokosmos, and is designed to introduce the concept og changing meters.  The composition is in two parts, each dealing with the variation of a basic motive.  The first section is a playful, off-kilter waltz, while the second section features more vigorous, highly ornamented writing.  The Brooklyn Waltz is published by Mel Bay: Mel Bay Presents 2000 Mandolin, Featuring solos by the world’s finest mandolinists!
