The second release by the four-hand piano duo Viennese Waltz Export (Marialena Fernandes and Ranko Markovic) sheds light on the development of the waltz over the years and national borders. Commencing with classical Viennese Waltzes by Johann Strauss I, the duo move on to Russia with a Rachmaninoff waltz as well as his arrangement of Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty for four-hands. Waltzes by Johannes Brahms and Wolfgang Rihm lead to the concluding Valse du mystérieux baiser dans l’oeil by Erik Satie, allowing a certain glimpse of emerging musical Dadaism.
