It typically features one chord per measure, with a specific accompaniment style. The name "waltz" comes from the German verb "walzen". There are even connections to the 16th-century Volta. Waltz music has remained an enduring expression through its unique forms and style.Bring your friends and family to Lumpini Park to celebrate an evening of waltz by dancing along with music by the RBSO.*Programme may be subject to unavoidable change.
