A standard didactic waltz by William Dressler intended for instructional use in mid-19th-century music education. It emphasizes rhythmic precision and typical waltz-pattern accompaniments.
Practice the detached articulation in the bass lines to keep the waltz rhythm crisp and dance-like.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
Beauties of the Waltz is rated Henle level 3 of 9 — late beginner repertoire, roughly ABRSM grades 4–5. In the RCM system it corresponds to about level 4.
You should be comfortable at Henle level 3 — meaning you can already play level 2–3 pieces cleanly. Learning it one level early is possible as a stretch piece, but more than that usually leads to months of frustration.
A typical performance of Beauties of the Waltz lasts about 4 minutes.
