Romantic music is a stylistic movement in Western Classical Music associated with the Romantic Era, an intellectual, artistic and literary movement that became prominent in Western culture from 1798 to 1837, and in Western music throughout the 19th century.
A Mazurka is Polish folk dance in three beats to a bar, similar to a waltz but with strong accents placed on the second or third beat.
