 A variety of other dances later came into similar musical importance, such as the galop, the polka, the polonaise, the redowa, the mazurka, etc.

The first of the Vienna waltz-makers was Joseph Lanner (d. 1843), who organized a popular quartet and orchestra soon after 1820. His pupil Johann Strauss [Sr.] (d. 1849) formed another orchestra in 1826, with which in 1833-8 he toured through Europe. One of his three sons, Johann Strauss [Jr.] (d. 1899), was the most celebrated of the whole series, beginning competition with his father in 1844, and from 1871, after winning international renown, writing many bright operettas. Among the numerous other workers in the field were from 1834 Joseph Labitzky (d. 1881); from 1836 the Frenchman Louis Antoine Jullien (d. 1860); from about the same time the Viennese Philipp Fahrbach [Sr.] (d. 1885); from 1841 the Dane Hans Christian Lumbye (d. 1874); from 1843 the Hungarian Joseph Gungl (d. 1889) and his nephew Johann Gungl (d. 1883); and from about 1847 the Hungarian Kéler-Béla (d. 1882). In Paris the two most famous dance-makers were from about 1820 Jean Baptiste Joseph Tolbecque (d. 1869) and from about 1835 Philippe Musard (d. 1859).
