Phillip Sear plays a waltz (or 'valsero') from 1894 by the Finnish composer Karl Flodin (1858-1925).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Finnish composer, Karl Flodin (1858—1925) was best known as a  music critic, who reported Sibelius's early works.  As pianist, he accompanied his soprano wife in one of the first ever recordings of a Sibelius song in 1904.  In later years he spent much of his time in Buenos Aires.

This piece received honourable mention in a competition run my the German music journal Neuen Musik-Zeitung.  Why Flodin marked it 'tempo di valsero' (whatever that may be) I am not sure!
