Silver coin 5 euro Latvia 2015 – Melancholic Waltz

“Melancholic Waltz” is a work by the Latvian composer Emils Darzins (1875-1910). Emils Darzins personifies the soul of Latvian classical music. After false accusations of plagiarism, Darzins destroyed all his symphony scores, and only the “Melancolic Waltz” miraculously escaped this fate. One day, sitting in the garden of the writer Jānis Poruks at dusk, Dārzins had a white, dream-like vision of the Mother of God, which became the impetus for the creation of “The Melancolic Waltz.” The gentle, swaying melody becomes even more melancholy in the solo clarinet part.

The coin features a shining shooting star and a rainbow in relief.
