Joseph Lanner Ed: David Heyes . Scored for 2 Violins, Viola and Double Bass (or Cello). Known as 'the Mozart of the Waltz', Lanner successfully melded the Austrian landler of the classical era with the style and elegance of 19th-century Viennese dance music. The Styrian Dances were composed in 1840, inspired by the folk music and dances of Styria, a province near Linz, and hark back to the soirees and salons of the late 18th-century. The music is elegant, full of great musical invention, and beautifully structured. . Performance Level: 5;6.. Grade: 5 - 6
