This is another waltz by Cândido Drumond de Vasconcelos from a Madeiran
MS for machete with guitar accompaniment from the 1840s. Then (and now?)
there were people in Funchal, Madeira from Britain and from
German-speaking countries. Madeiran musicians played the machete and
taught it to middle class locals and visitors from abroad. Ballroom
dances must have been popular. This waltz seems to me to a a slow, lazy
sort of waltz for people just relaxing. (Perhaps)
