Maurice Jaubert: Valse Grise (piano solo version)

Maurice Jaubert (1900-40) was, before he was killed in wartime action, a leading French composer of film scores, and a friend of Ravel, Honneger and Auric. This waltz ('Grey Waltz') comes from his score to Julien Duvivier's 'Un Carnet de Bal' (1937), a nostalgic film in which a widow revisits men with whom she once danced at a ball. The piece was apparently inspired by Sibelius's 'Valse Triste'.

I have searched high and low but I cannot find the piano sheet music for this piece! Could you point me in the right direction? Or did you arrange it yourself? It sounds great!!

[PSearPianist]

@carsintb Thank you. I will send you a message about where I got the sheet music.

I did have the sheet music of the Valse Grise...and played it often for my mother........but that 's a very long time ago.. If this is Jaubert himself playing his own composition, wonder why he reads his own score ??

@papoocanada This is not Jaubert playing - it is me, and I am very bad at memorizing!
