Varsovienne

Waltz · 3/4 · C major

The Varsovienne is a traditional nineteenth-century partner dance and tune combining elements of the polka and the waltz that originated in Warsaw, Poland. Written in three-quarters meter and typically performed in C major, the music features a moderate tempo and a graceful, lilting character that accompanies the dance's distinctive sweeping steps and heel-toe movements. Because its exact authorship is lost to history, it is regarded as a traditional folk tune that spread widely across Europe and North America through popular dance manuals and immigrant communities.
