W is for Waltz

According to Wikipedia, the waltz is a smooth, progressive ballroom and folk dance in triple time, performed primarily in closed position.

The music must have a suitable tempo, such as the pieces in the sampler above.

There was a waltz written for Tempest, Dahlings. It is known as the Two Left Feet Waltz!

N is for Neoclassical

From the Wikipedia entry:

Neoclassicism in music was a twentieth-century trend, particularly current in the period between the two World Wars, in which composers sought to return to aesthetic precepts associated with the broadly defined concept of "classicism", namely order, balance, clarity, economy, and emotional restraint. As such, neoclassicism was a reaction against the unrestrained emotionalism and perceived formlessness of late Romanticism, as well as a "call to order" after the experimental ferment of the first two decades of the twentieth century.

Neoclassicism had two distinct national lines of development, French (proceeding partly from the influence of Erik Satie and represented by Igor Stravinsky), and German (proceeding from the "New Objectivity" of Ferruccio Busoni and represented by Paul Hindemith.)

If you don't have ad block (which I do at home, but not on the computer at work) all the ads in the video above are really annoying. Interrupting the Rite of Spring with advertising? Blasphemy!
