Un giro di valzer playlist

Enormously popular in the Vienna of the Strauss dynasty in the mid 1800s, the waltz soon became entrenched as part of life in Europe, including in Italy where it took hold first in the North-East regions, which at that time were under the Hapsburgs and thus part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In our country it became especially popular in the form of songs and dominated the music scene throughout the first half of the 1900s, when it formed a vast repertoire that paved the way to the dissemination of the popular liscio ballroom dancing style.
