Berens’s Op. 70, No. 30 is a compact waltz in C major, with a lightly ornamented melody above a regular three-part bass-and-chord pattern.
Measures 1–4 introduce the recurring grace-note figure. A short chromatic turn around G is followed by a higher held note, and the two-measure idea immediately returns.
Measures 5–8 shift the accompanying harmony while the melody answers with another chromatic figure and a descending line. A longer note and a rest bring the first phrase to a clear pause.
Measures 9–12 recall the opening, preserving its small ornamental flick and upward leap. Measures 13–16 reshape the answer, replacing the earlier descent with a higher, slurred gesture before the final C-major close.
Interesting fact: The historical score explicitly calls this piece a ‘Waltz,’ although its RTV title identifies it only by opus and number.
