I recently went through a jazz-waltz phase, and decided to go back to the 'roots' of the style. Of course, this entailed listening to more Strauss and other Vienna composers, in addition to the vast corpus of the classical genre's composers who used the waltz. Somehow, that led me eventually to Joseph Lanner, a key figure in the history of the waltz. There's something irredeemably uplifting and soulful about the waltz.
