Johannes Brahms (1833-1897): Sixteen Waltzes (Op. 39)
15: Waltz in A-flat major (or A major)
This is one of Brahms's most famous piano pieces, originally published in A-flat major, with a simplified version in A major.
I have recorded this piece in a the attached arrangement for two mandolins and guitar from IMSLP at:

The arrangement is intended for two banjo mandolins (!) with banjo accompaniment, but in the interest of the sensitivities of the listener I have substituted two vintage Italian bowlback mandolins with tenor guitar backing. This version has been transposed to G major, which is easier on mandiolin.
