The repertoire of the early Viennese ballroom was highly
influential in the broader histories of both social dance and music
in nineteenth-century Europe. Yet music scholarship has
traditionally paid little attention to ballroom dance music before
the era of the Strauss dynasty, with the exception of a handful of
dances by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. This book positions Viennese
social dances in their specific performing contexts and
investigates the wider repertoire of the Viennese ballroom in the
decades around 1800, most of which stems from dozens of
non-canonical composers. Close examination of this material yields
new insights into the social contexts associated with familiar
dance types, and reveals that the ballroom repertoire of this
period connected with virtually every aspect of Viennese musical
life, from opera and concert music to the emerging category of
entertainment music that was later exemplified by the waltzes of
Lanner and Strauss.
