Tom, I’ve always grouped the waltzes I play into two categories, Slow Waltzes and Fast Waltzes. For the titles you named, I generally treat Blue Skirt Waltz and Edelweiss as Fast Waltzes (nominally 160 - 170 beats per minute) and the others as Slow Waltzes (nominally 100 - 105 beats per minute). Interestingly enough a few years ago we played a couple of parties for an Arthur Murray dance studio and they requested that we play our slow waltzes at 90 beats per minute. It seemed pretty slow to me, but that’s the tempo they used to teach their students the waltz.
Anyway, here are some additional waltzes in each category (more than 10, but they all seem to go over well)
