Walzes can be played with an intro where the player plays triads with the melodic-buttons.
Example with the first row being this intro:

Thats the beginning to the song life in the trenches, and heres an example of it played:


However I also often hear people playing a very short embellishment (trioli, terzina, or whatever its called) before playing the intro explained above. Its hard to explain, but here are some examples of people playing it. Its the beginning of the song where its played.









So my confusingly constructed question is essentially; how to play it? Its apparently a similar pattern in all of them, but I havent figured out how to play it just by listening.
 
Sounds like to me they are just running up the scale in triplets, or grace notes (something quick) then ending up on the start note of the song.

I was once in a tutorial about creating intros and endings that told me you could improvise any intro by staying in the scale of the song and picking some chords to start with, just as long as the last chord before you started was the 7th above the key of the song. For example, if the song was in the key of C you would improvise something with additional chords as long as the last chord before the song started was a G7.
