    My father, who is now deceased, used to play this all the time on our piano. I grew up with the sounds of this waltz floating through our house. After he died, I wanted so to hear it again, but could not tell anyone what it was. I tried singing it for people, but I guess they were not classic music fans. Nobody I asked was able to tell me what it was. It was 30 years before I found out that it was a Brahms Waltz. I'm so happy that I can now hear it on the Internet.

      This is a good lesson for people who think they don't have any influence on their children. When I was growing up, I never showed any interest in classical music. I was a typical kid/teen and loved the Beatles and all the pop music stars.
      Unfortunately, my father didn't live long enough to see me develop a love for classical music. I like to think he sees me now from Heaven, though.
      The lesson is, don't lose heart, parents. Your influence will bear fruit, some day.

      +GREGG SED The funny thing about it I played this Waltz back in the early seventies growing up and didn't know the name of it until I looked through my old music. The score I have was printed in the thirties and the white pages are very tan now. the paper is brittle and if you fold the page it will come apart. I will make a copy so I can learn it again and hopefully remember the 4 flats. I never lost interest in classical music because I believe God was with the artist when they composed the music. Classical Music will live forever! Rock can never catch up with Classical Music. When all is said and done Classical Music will live forever!

      This is such a nice story.
      I used to play a game on my Nintendo called Shadowman and this song used to play on repeat in one of the levels. I used to love it, it was creepy and emotional and it really got to me more than other music at the time. I stopped playing and thought nothing more of it.
      20 years later, I'm I'm on holiday, sitting in a town square in Alkmaar, the Netherlands. The piece comes on from the church bell and it all comes flooding back to me. I stop and ask people what the piece is called and nobody knows, they just say that it is "the town song"... so that wasn't much help.
      I then googled for the original game soundtrack, then commented on the level song and asked what it was, I was finally told and I now listen to this song all the time.
      Long story, just thought I'd share. :)

    Now deceased, she was a piano teacher for most of her life. She usd to play the Brahms Waltz a lot, I think it was her favorite, and in a way, summed up her life, which was filled with sadness. May she rest in peace.

    Este vals, sin duda, tiene algo muy especial. Casi milagroso. Mi padre tenía el don de tocar de oído (reproducía lo que escuchaba respetando literalmente la partitura en su totalidad), pero nunca tuvo ocasión de estudiar música. Tuvo nueve hijos, pero un día me dijo, confidencialmente, que se sentía vivo en mí.Yo sí estudié piano de chica, pero siendo muy joven mi vocación me llevó a ser actriz, y luego a escribir. Este vals fue lo más complejo que llegué a tocar. Hoy, a mis 82 años, he leído conmovida estos comentaios y agradezco desde lo mejor de mí a Evgeny Kissin, a RUclips y a la "causalidad" que me llevaron ó a encontrar esta joya y vivir este momento.

    It's a magical song to me and I've always wondered what it was called. But this morning it was playing on the radio and I practically woke from a sound sleep and fell outta bed to write it down. The piano player, Evgeny Kissin, also does a beautiful job. He looks kinda like a cross between Angus Young (AC/DC) and Donny Osmond. Wow.

    So glad you found it….I loved this and played a tape of it many times as a younger woman. It resonated with me and was in a collection of audio tapes sold in 1980s at Victoria Secret Stores… a series of classical music. The London Philharmonic recorded this particular song. Wonderful version. I lost the tape and never knew what the name of it was. This week I sent a Facebook note to a friend I have not seen in sixty years but is very educated in all music genre. I sent him a RUclips documentary in which an older lady just started playing it on a piano. My friend identified it for me. I am very thankful as it is wonderful. I somehow had the feeling that it mirrored my life flow. Ups and downs and peaks and a slower but wise ending. Beautiful!

    *Their souls are free, now it’s all over. Though I thought to my self, “Why not free that pitch black rabbit with glowing white eyes?” I, of course, never found it. But I later found a way to ‘glitch out’ one of the games named “Stage 01” and was playing as that same rabbit from the grand reopening. Never to be seen after I worked as the night guard at the 1993 Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. But I shouldn’t be talking about this ‘Shadow’ rabbit thing. Their souls are free, that’s all that matters. The place, burnt down. They are now all free.*

    I searched so long for this music, i heard it in a movie and i imediatly liked it surtout knowing the title... And someday i heard the "playrooms music" from Shadowman and i noticed it was the same... By searching the playrooms music on RUclips a comment said the original title so i could learn it... That's how i foud this music
