Waltzes of the Americas - Polly Ferman

Charming and intelligent. From South America to the streets of New York, these waltzes cover 100 years of waltzing on this side of the Atlantic.

Emerging as a sensation during the Napoleonic era, the waltz spread from its native Austria to all parts of the world, crystalizing for generations a new image of elegance, more dashing and suggestive of intimacy and gaiety than anything previously permissible on the dance floor.

In the Americas as well as Europe, the popularity of waltzes motivated composers and publishers to turn them out in great numbers, most of this in sheet music destined for the parlor piano. Toward the end of the 19th century, when native American composers began to find their distinct voices, there emerged a varied literature of native instrumental waltzes.
