Claude Debussy composed a solo piano piece in this genre in F minor that he named the "Romantique." The descending notes (read notes slowly) "long A, long A, short G, F#, C#" are a prominent theme in a piece named for this genre that was first performed by its composer and Alfredo Casella. A suite of eight of these pieces that opens with one marked "très franc" took inspiration from an earlier collection of them by Franz Schubert divided into the two title moods. French composer Émile Waldteufel is best known for his dozens of pieces in this genre, including "The Skaters." "Noble" and "sentimental" examples of these pieces were written by Maurice Ravel, who titled a choreographic poem after one of these pieces in the Viennese style. French composers took inspiration from Johann Strauss Jr., the "king" of, for 10 points, what genre of triple-meter dance? ■END■
