Glinka's "Valse Fantaisie" was originally written for solo piano in 1839 and orchestrated in 1856. This version was transcribed by Gryaznov.

Valse-Fantaisie resembles the manner of Carl Maria von Weber’s Invitation to the Dance and the waltzes of the Strauss family. Russian folk melodies are apparent throughout, but they are expressed in a classical Viennese idiom. Much of the work is rather melancholy in character and does not exemplify the traditional musical scene of an intertwined couple progressing around a ball room, but more of wistful and pensive character. In his original manuscript for piano Glinka wrote the somber somewhat ominous remark in the margin, “All I know of love is the pain it causes!”.
