Valsa da Saudade (Peperkamp)

The Portugese word Saudade is a tricky word for translation, it expresses a mix of feelings in the range of homesickness, nostalgia, melancholy and wistfulness. This feeling emerges in this piece by Thomas Peperkamp, in particular in the harmonic progression in the second section. The 6/8 time makes the piece a ballad rather than a waltz, which eventually determines its character.
