Tres Jolie is one of Waldteufel's more popular waltzes. It was written at the height of his productivity. The waltz begins quietly with the introduction of the theme from the first waltz, and slowly builds up to its climactic finale over 4 attractive waltzes. The most famous of the waltzes are probably No.1 and 4.
