Ferdinand Beyer - Heures de Loisir, Op. 92, No. 6 - Morning Star Waltz

Measures 1-29 form a march introduction marked Allegro moderato in common time after a short pickup. Broad upper chords and dotted figures alternate with short descending replies. The lower part supports them with bass notes, chords, and running figures. Stronger octave phrases give way to a quieter descending line and a held note with a fermata.

Measures 30-61 introduce the waltz in 3/4 after a pickup. An accented upper octave melody alternates with short lower chord replies. A quieter slurred melody then unfolds above a regular bass-and-chord accompaniment. Both sixteen-measure sections are repeated.

Measures 62-93 alternate broad upper arpeggios and descending figures with shorter slurred replies. The bass-and-chord accompaniment continues as the melody rises into a higher register, becomes quieter, and grows stronger again. Each sixteen-measure section is repeated.

Measures 94-125 move into B-flat major after a pickup. Rising upper phrases alternate with short descending runs and accented replies above held bass notes and chords. The phrases travel through different registers and grow stronger before the closing chord.

Measures 126-157 return to F major after a pickup. Slurred paired upper notes alternate longer held harmonies with short descending replies. A second melody introduces repeated upper octaves and accented high notes. Both sixteen-measure sections are repeated.

Measures 158-197 extend the closing passage through rising and falling upper runs, broad arpeggios, and stronger chord exchanges. Repeated chords and accented octaves alternate with lower running replies. The final chordal phrases descend through the register before the sustained closing harmony.
