'Michael Turner's Waltz' is a delightful piece of music which I learned about on an earlier thread. I play it on the piano, and I've played it with friends (flute, harp, guitar...)

When I first played it on the piano, it seemed that the music and my body were having a fight. I realized that I was trying to play it like a waltz, (ONE-two-three ONE-two-three) but it is not a waltz. It is from a time before the waltz was invented, and it wants to put the emphasis in other places, on the end of the measures, rather than always at the beginning. So I decided to relax and let the music tell me what to do. It's a lot more fun that way.
