Ballet Coppélia, Act. 1, nr. 1: Valse, Léo Delibes
Channel: Paul De Bra
Date: 2022-10-27

Professor P plays the arrangement for accordion orchestra (or quintet, with optional timpani), by Paul De Bra, of the Valse from the ballet Coppélia by Léo Delibes (Act. 1 nr. 1).
The arrangement is best played by a larger ensemble to allow for diviso. The timpani part is optional. There is also an optional repeat (because without it this is a rather short waltz).
The composition is in E flat major and the resulting arrangement requires a high B flat (in the first and fourth voices). An additional arrangement is available that is transposed down to D major and can be played using standard 41-key piano accordions.

The arrangement is freely available from https://www.de-bra.nl/arrangements.html#valse-coppelia and from imslp.org.


Enjoy!
