Description:
A flute and piano duet invites us to waltz.Paired, just as for the waltz, but scandalous in the beginning at a tune when dancing was considered a purely collective activity.It acquired botte its rhythm and its name (waltzen: to turn) from a German round dance in 3/4, slow originally, then under Austrian influence, lively and quick: the Viennese waltz was born.Starting in the early 19th century, the great composers joined into the dance: Brahms, Chabrier, Chopin, Fauré, Ravel... to say nothing of the Strauss' brilliant dynasty.Operetta helped to promote it, songs and then films made it popular. Waltz-Caprice, romantic, sentimental... The waltz, overriding fashion, remains the undisputed sovereign of couple dancing.Georges HacquardTranslation: Jacqueline Rose
