does anyone know of any strictly intramental waltz music? I heard some today, but I forgot to get the name. something really moving would be great
first, welcome to dance forums.
if you want strictly instrumental and moving, I suggest Apassionata by Secret Garden, it's on a CD called White Stones, track no.9. Be warned, it is very slow, too slow for strict tempo. But boy is it melodic, moving, and extremely waltzable.

I love "The Chairman's Waltz" (John Williams) from Memoirs of a Geisha.

do you just dance to the original music? it's kinda fast isn't it, for a waltz?

I do use the original version, but not for competition practice. It could be slowed down a bit if you prefer it at strict tempo.
Does anyone know of any artist that plays these tunes in 3/4-time?

Can't go wrong with a little Cowboy Bebop 
Waltz for ZIZI is a very nice little waltz. It may be to western for you, but it works wonderfully.

Well, if you're looking for something a bit extreme on the non-traditional side
Nothing Else Matters, by Metallica.
The version from their S&M album (joint concert with the San Fran Symphony) actually works fairly well.
Also, Moving On, by Rascal Flatts, isn't too bad as long as you don't mind a bit of a twang.

O my... that's quite unfortunate lol I think Secret Garden's intent is neither one of those! That being said, I must agree with you, and that feeling is exactly why I never play 'Nocture' or 'Songs from...' more than twice (unless I absolutely must).
