When I saw Victor Borge’s performance of this awesome piece, I knew I had to learn it even though my fingers were old and rusty. Although I didn’t play it as well as he did, I hope I did it enough justice.

Ignaz Friedman – 6 Viennese Dances on Themes by Gartner (No. 2)

You can download the free mp3 of the dance here.

Also, don’t forget to check out my contest!
