The second movement of Dvorak's Serenade for Strings is this type of piece.
The second movement of Dvorak's Serenade for Strings is this type of piece. Emil Waldteufel's most popular composition is one of these pieces called "Les Patineurs". The Dutch violinist Andre Rieu founded an orchestra which specializes in performing these pieces. Schubert wrote sets of "sentimental" and "noble" examples of these pieces, which are likely derived from the German (*) Ländler. Jean Sibelius composed a "sad" or "triste" piece of this type, 19th century examples of which include one in which a brief flute cadenza is followed by the entrance of a zither, the "Tales from the Vienna Woods". For 10 points, name these Viennese dances in 3/4 time which include "On the Beautiful Blue Danube", which was composed by their "King", Johann Strauss, Jr.
