■純美、浪漫、遙遠、迷人、如夢、感傷。Purely, and fabulously romantic with an overtone of glamour mixed with a shade of melancholy and nostalgia.
■帝俄時代貴族的高雅絢麗參雜了俄羅斯民族悲歡離合的苦難孕育出這音樂獨特而迷人的風格。它似乎承繼了蘇聯大作曲家蕭斯達科維奇的二號華爾茲的風格。

The distiinct bitter-sweet flavor of this piece of music seems to stem from the elegant glamour of the Tsarist Russian court and the dark suffering of the Slavs over the centuries. The listener is reminded of the unforgettably unique flavor of Shostakovich's Second Waltz.

■這是被UNESCO在2014選為20世紀最好的4首圓舞曲之一。This piece has been chosen by UNESCO in 2014 as one of the four best waltzes of the 20th century.
■也被美國雷根總統稱為他最喜歡的圓舞曲，足見此音樂之平易近人。
■作曲家Eugen Doga是俄羅斯Moldavia 人。他為1980年代一部俄羅斯電影"我甜美又溫柔野獸"所創造的。Eugen Doga, a Russian composer from Moldavia, wrote this music for the film " My Sweet and Tender Beast" in the 1980s.
