Crocus

Waltz · 3/4 · G minor

Crocus is a traditional waltz set in three-quarter time and the key of G minor with an uncertain historical origin and background. The tune is characterized by a graceful, flowing melodic contour and a lyrical yet melancholic mood suited for traditional folk dancing. Because reliable historical associations and specific composer attributions are not established for this piece, musicians typically interpret it with expressive phrasing and a steady, expressive dance tempo.
