This musical genre is used for the first movement of Aram Khachaturian's Masquerade Suite and the third movement of Tchaikovsky's fifth symphony. The first one written specifically for concert performances, which is in rondo form, is Carl Maria von Weber's Invitation to the Dance. This term is preceded by "Grande" and followed by  "Brillante" in the name of some works by Frédéric Chopin, but his best known example is named for its short length, which is about a minute. Another example, written just after Austria lost a war with Prussia, is The Blue Danube.  Name these pieces, many of which were written by the two Johann Strausses [SHTRAOSS-uz], often written as dances in three-four time.
