Talk:Viennese waltz

message: I moved Kdbrous' reflections about the capitalisation of 'Waltz' here since it has nothing to do with the dance itself. He is what he wrote:
"In the English language, only proper nouns and proper adjectives are capitalized.  The word "waltz" is not a proper noun in the English language when used in an article as this one. The correct spelling is "Viennese waltz" with "waltz" lower case.  "Waltz" is only capitalized when it is the first word of a sentence or is part of the title of an article, book, song, etc." Krueschan 18:22, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

It is possible there is more Slovenian Folk Dancing, aka the Viennese to Ethnic Bands, going on in Cleveland Ohio than anywhere else in the world.  Reason is in THE CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER's 6-5-04 article "Strengthening Pride of Cleveland Slovenes..." by writer Robert Smith where he explains the greatest number of Slovenes (60,000-80,000) immigrated to the Cleveland area (and brought the Slovenian Waltz with them,preserved it and dance it many times a week to this day).  The Polka Hall of Fame in Euclid Ohio, also has this dance named "The Cleveland Style" as the 'Cleveland Slovenian' Frankie Yankovic brought everyday Americans into the ballrooms after WWII and then carried this waltz (with his music and this nick-name for his style) around the world.  "The Cleveland Style" name stuck (aka Folk Dance Style Viennese Waltz aka The Slovenian Waltz) and is now documented in The Cleveland Polka Hall of Fame's records but it is synonymous with 'Folk Dance Style Viennese Waltz'.
I (or you) will extract a decent info from this piece of promo and will try to add something useful, like the actual description of the dance; possibly a separate article. mikka (t) 18:54, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Folk Dance Style Viennese Waltz: 

message: Apologies for making a major revision on this without consultation. The musical form of the viennese waltz is at least as important as the dance, and as such I though it appropriate to inclide that section. If any changes need to be made (I;m not very happy with some of my phrasing) please feel free to do so. Ck lostsword 20:36, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Musical Form

message: Common performance standard of Viennese waltz requires the 2nd beat of the 3/4 bar to be played slightly early, and the 3rd slightly late.  Could someone add to the article the origins/reason for this practice?  (I don't know why it is!) 87.113.29.44 (talk) 18:46, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  placement of beats 

message: Apparently we don't have a photo of a couple doing the Viennese Waltz in Commons. The illustration in the text is of a couple who are obviously not dancing the VW. They are dancing the international standard tango. The closeness of the hold, the position of the girl's left hand, the position of the feet... Sorry, but there it is.

replies: text: Now we've got an image of what might be a (Slow) Waltz, but it doesn't look like a Viennese at all to me. The step is far to big, and they're too low down. Still no real Viennese Waltz photo? --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 16:10, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This article is about the dance, which is fine, but I actually came here looking for information about the musical form "Viennese waltz".  There really isn't any information about that in this article, and I've not found an article about the form.  If there is one, it would be appropriate to link to it from here.  There also might be good reason to have a "disambiguation page".
If there is no article about the musical form "Viennese waltz", someone should create one.
:Agreed - that's is why I also came to this page. In fact earlier on the talk page, someone commented that they'd added just such a section, perhaps we could go a (long way) back through the page history and get the text to form the basis of a new article? 90.196.67.198 (talk) 20:47, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
