About the piece

Twelve waltzes publishable for either piano or harp and supplied with a tambourine accompaniment, a combination aimed squarely at fashionable domestic music-making. Steibelt's wife was an accomplished tambourine player, and he wrote a considerable quantity of music featuring the instrument, which enjoyed a brief vogue in drawing rooms of the period.
