    Such elegant dancers. Interesting choice to decorate a waltz album. Chopin’s waltzes are magnificent. A few of these waltzes are used in the ballet Les Sylphides (Fokine) and Dances at a Gathering ( Jerome Robbins). Both amazing ballets.Thank you for sharing so many wonderful works.

    This is so pretty and dainty, Sunnyside. I love the gentle line the ladies are making with their arms.

      I love that, too, Mitzy. The painting is as lyrical as the Chopin. 🌻
