The waltz is a 3/4-stroke Austrian dance. Its most distinctive feature is that couples hold tightly to each other and dance around a point. Its source is a folkloric dance called 'Valto', which originated in the Provence region of France in the mid-16th century. #classicalmusic #music #art #shostakovich #waltz
