La Reine de la Mer Valses - John Philip Sousa - Piano Solo Waltz

"La Reine de la Mer" Valses (The Queen of the Sea) by John Philip Sousa, composed in 1886.
This waltz is written with a dedication to Mrs. W. C. Whitney, then the wife of the Secretary of the Navy and was chosen as one of the numbers for Sousa's farewell concert with the U.S. Marine Band in 1892. It was also said to be his favorite waltz, and it's easy to see why.
This piece was commissioned by John McDonnell who has a website dedicated to Sousa and other composers of the period: www.angelfire.... Enjoy! 🌊👑🎵

Another lovely video from the absurdly talented and unrealistically photogenic Pepper! I could watch you all day.

NICE!!! I'm wracking my brain trying to think of what classical composer this could pass for. Nice, classy piece, just calling it a "march" doesn't do it the justice it deserves.

Well, Johann Strauss was the unofficial waltz king - it might be reminding you of one of his! 🎶
