Today i want to share with you the sheet or score of the beautiful waltz "Natursänger" (Natural Singers) (Cantantes Naturales). I personally love this waltz because its Introduction features singing birds and sounds very peaceful.

A century or so ago, so called ‘nature singers’, people who earned a living imitating birdsong, were imprisoned if they took part in a ‘real’ singers contest. They entertained at concerts for poorer people, who were very proud of their artists. The singers often spent long hours hidden in damp undergrowth listening for birdsong, returning sometimes victorious at night with songs reflecting their latest coup. The Natursänger waltz was a hit following its première at a regimental concert on 17th January 1890 at the Harmonie-Saal, and has never entirely disappeared from the repertoire. At the time the Archduke Wilhelm purchased the piano score to have it played at a royal family dinner he was hosting, a sign of the respect the nobility had for their regimental bandmaster. The birdsong is highly effective, enhancing the impact of the waltz. Johann and Josef Strauss included birdsong occasionally in their music.

I've extracted the main melody of the waltz to play it in my violin but since it's difficult to find the score publicly, i decided to share it with you (in case someone wants to play it in flute, violin or instruments that can be played in treble clef) I have to mention that some parts of the waltz are in a low octave to make it easy for beginners (like me) so please enjoy it and try to play it! have fun!

PD 1: The score is mine, i didn't get it from any page or sheet source, I've extracted it from the main melody so you might find some errors :)
