In the broader sense of the term, that includes medieval, Renaissance, baroque, and romantic periods, with some of the more modern.

"Les Patineurs, Opus 183, is one of the most famous and beloved waltzes by Émile Waldteufel, a French composer renowned for his lively and elegant waltzes . Composed in 1882, this work evokes the joyful and graceful atmosphere of Parisian ice rinks at the end of the 19th century."
