7AUFFORDERUNG ZUM TANZ (Invitation à la valse), rondo brillant for pianoforte, by Weber, op. 65, dedicated to his Caroline, composed 1819, first original edition, Berlin (Schlesinger). This happy inspiration must forever remain a standard work. You seem to see the respectful lover approaching the object of his affection, and claiming her hand for the dance. The coy damsel at first but half consents, but after some slight hesitation is persuaded. Encircled by the arm of her happy partner, she listens to the accents of passionate love whispered in her ear, to which she replies in subdued but encouraging tones. The dance becomes more animated, and the happy swain carries his future bride through the mazy throng till the last chord of the exciting dance. Then demurely he bows his farewell. Among the different arrangements of this piece, whose popularity is unexampled, the following deserve special mention: One, with somewhat larger treatment of the pianoforte, by Henselt, and a still more elaborate one, "with arabesques for concert performance," by Tausig (See von Lenz, Drei grosse Klavier-Virtuosen); one for eight hands, by Otto Dresel, and Berlioz's matchless transcription for full orchestra (See Berlioz, Mémoires, 330). It has also been arranged for soprano with pianoforte accompaniment, to the words, Vieni, o cara, etc.—Benedict, 153.
