Alexander Griboedov - Waltz in e minor

Griboedov unfortunately only got 34 years old. He lived from 1795 to 1829, at the time of Beethoven. Typical for great people of that time, he was not only a composer but also a Russian diplomat, playwright and poet. I already played this piece long time ago, but at a rather strange speed and I felt like this is a good time to play it again, with a more adequate waltz feeling. He was Russia's ambassador to Qajar Persia, where he and all the embassy staff were massacred by an angry mob as a result of the rampant anti-Russian sentiment that existed through Russia's imposing of the Treaty of Gulistan (1813) and Treaty of Turkmenchay (1828), which had forcefully ratified for Persia's ceding of its northern territories comprising Transcaucasia and parts of the North Caucasus. Griboyedov had played a pivotal role in the ratification of the latter treaty.
