Encyclopedia: Polka Polka is a type of dance and genre of dance music; it originated in the middle of the 19th century in Bohemia, and is still a common genre of Czech folk music; it is also common both in Europe and in the Americas. The polka (a 2/4-beat dance of Czech origin) should not be confused with the polska (a Swedish 3/4-beat dance with Polish roots); cf. In classical music, many polkas were composed by both Johann Strauss I and his son Johann Strauss II; a couple of well-known ones were composed by Bedrich Smetana. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Polka   (1793 words)

StreetSwing's Dance History Archives - The Polka Dance Page - Main1 The Polka is said to be a descendent of the sixteenth century Court dance called the Bourree of Avergneé. The Polka was the second "closed position" dance to be introduced to the world, the first being the Waltz. By 1860 the "frantic hopping" done originally in the Polka was calmed down to a subtle "rising and falling" and the flinging of the feet were much less obvious. www.streetswing.com /histmain/z3polka.htm   (1218 words)

Polka-mazurka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 'trio' section is free-style and does not need to associate with the main theme although the Strauss family, Josef Strauss in particular, attempted in most of his famous polka-mazurkas to blend in sensitivity and romanticism as can be heard in his pieces Sympathie op. The polka-mazurka does possess a similar structure to the polka, with a main theme quickly proceeding to its subsidiary theme which is usually brash and loudly played. The polka-mazurka is a dance, musically similar to the mazurka, but danced much like the polka. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Polka-mazurka   (260 words)

J Strauss Waltzes Maazel [JW]: Classical CD Reviews- Apr 2003 MusicWeb(UK) Seldom has the Kaiser-waltz sounded so delightfully nuanced, so carefully clarified and with Ein Herz, Ein Sinn his teasing little gestures are pleasurably idiomatic (it is a polka-mazurka after all). The orchestral players as ever enjoy themselves - the trombones are splendid in Spleen, another Polka-Mazurka and collectively they give real rhythmic lift to the celebratory favourite, the Tritsch-Tratsch polka. The Polka Française Bitte Schön has a delicious curve to it and takes on fresh life whilst Tales from the Vienna Woods opens in verdant and luxurious delicacy, the zither making its presence felt with stealth and charm. www.musicweb-international.com /classrev/2003/Apr03/JStrauss_Waltzes_Maazel.htm   (260 words)

Stevenson's æsthetic is one in which the voice, the melody, the vocal line, is of paramount importance; the composer never forgets that all music is derived from singing, either in his own pianism, or in whatever medium he is writing for.
