"  Richard Rodgers-Master of the Waltz : "  Some of the finest 2oth Century waltzes were written by Richard Rodgers wih lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein 11. I must confess since I was raised by Austrian parents who lived in Vienna ,  the city where the waltz was embedded as the hallmark of Austrian musical traditions. There is something about the ebullient three-quarter time rhythm. the dramatic rise and fall of the melody that lifts one's spirit and puts one in a dancing mood. I began hearing these pieces at age 3 and started piano practice at Age 5, starting with Strauss waltzes and more advanced songs as I grew older included ones by Tchaikovsky and Ravel.
Here is Julie Andrews, accompanied by Andre Previn and a symphony orchestra. He, himself, was a refugee from Berlin who made his mark, first in Hollywood?; then as a Principal conductor in London, St. Louis and Pittsburgh and as a guest conductor around the world.
