Viennese Classical music is a refined and elegant style that emerged in 18th- and 19th-century Vienna, blending the grace of the Classical period with the charm of Viennese dance traditions. Rooted in the works of composers like Joseph Lanner and influenced by the symphonic mastery of Bruckner, it balances lyrical melodies, rich orchestration, and dance-inspired rhythms. Often performed by ensembles such as Salonorchester Alt Wien, this genre embraces waltzes, polkas, and operetta influences, expressing both sophistication and a light-hearted vibrancy. Conductors like Hans Swarowsky and Albert Rosen helped preserve and shape its expressive tradition.
