The "Waltz from Yolka, Op. 21" is a classical piece composed by Vladimir Rebikov, a Russian composer, pianist, and teacher. The piece was composed in 1896 and premiered in the same year. It is a part of Rebikov's suite of piano pieces titled "Yolka," which means "Christmas tree" in Russian. The "Waltz from Yolka" is a single movement piece that is characterized by its light and playful melody. The piece is written in 3/4 time signature, which is typical of a waltz. The tempo is marked as "Allegretto," which means moderately fast. The piece is written in the key of G major, which gives it a bright and cheerful sound. The piece begins with a simple and catchy melody played by the right hand. The left hand provides a steady accompaniment with broken chords. The melody is then repeated with slight variations, and the left hand adds more complexity to the accompaniment. The middle section of the piece features a more subdued melody played by the left hand, while the right hand provides a delicate and intricate accompaniment. The melody then returns to the original theme, and the piece ends with a flourish. The "Waltz from Yolka" is a charming and delightful piece that showcases Rebikov's skill as a composer. The piece is relatively easy to play, making it a popular choice for piano students.
