Franz Schubert's 'Originaltänze (36), D. 365, Op. 9' is a collection of 36 dances for piano, composed in 1819. The work was premiered in Vienna in the same year, and was published by Diabelli in 1821. The collection is divided into six sets of six dances each, with each set featuring a different dance form. The first set includes a waltz, a German dance, a ländler, a minuet, a polonaise, and a écossaise. The second set includes a waltz, a German dance, a ländler, a minuet, a polonaise, and a écossaise. The third set includes a waltz, a German dance, a ländler, a minuet, a polonaise, and a écossaise. The fourth set includes a waltz, a German dance, a ländler, a minuet, a polonaise, and a écossaise. The fifth set includes a waltz, a German dance, a ländler, a minuet, a polonaise, and a écossaise. The sixth set includes a waltz, a German dance, a ländler, a minuet, a polonaise, and a écossaise. The dances are characterized by their light and playful nature, with Schubert's signature melodic and harmonic style evident throughout. The waltzes are particularly notable for their graceful melodies and flowing rhythms, while the ländlers and écossaises feature lively, syncopated rhythms. The minuets and polonaises are more formal in nature, with stately melodies and elegant harmonies. Overall, 'Originaltänze (36), D. 365, Op. 9' is a charming and delightful collection of dances that showcase Schubert's skill as a composer of light music. The work remains popular among pianists and audiences alike, and is a testament to Schubert's enduring legacy as one of the greatest composers of the Romantic era.
