This graceful waltz by John Field blossoms in a warm and lyrical setting for string quartet. Yearning Waltz moves with a gentle Allegretto sway, carrying a tender, singing melody that passes smoothly between the violins while the viola and cello weave soft supporting lines. This arrangement preserves Field’s Romantic charm — elegant, nostalgic, and lightly bittersweet — creating a piece that feels both intimate and expressive. Ideal for developing orchestras or as a lyrical moment on a concert program, this work offers flowing lines, transparent textures, and a heartfelt melodic character.

Instrumentation:

Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Cello.
