Here’s what we’ll explore in this episode:

Émile Waldteufel’s "The Skater’s Waltz" – Glide across a frozen pond with this whimsical piece that captures the elegance and joy of ice skating.
Josef Strauss’s "Winterlust – Polka-schnell, Op. 121" – Feel the lively and playful energy of snowflakes dancing in this vibrant composition.
