Alfons Czibulka (1842-1894) was Hungarian and was born in present day Slovakia. He lived, worked and later died in Vienna. He started his career as a Military bandmaster and later on composed works for the musical stage. He lived in Vienna at the same time as Johann Strauss Junior. Many of his works are in the Viennese dance style, albeit with Hungarian influences. He also composed a large number of Salon style works.
The Gavotte is a French Court Dance. This piece was composed in 1880 and dedicated to Princess Stephanie of Belgium at her engagement to Rudolf, Prince of Austria. This piece is one of 2 pieces by Czibulka (the other one being Love's Dream After The Ball - http://youtu.be/YSw0Y-MODtk) still played in the standard repertoire.

Que bom conseguir a lembrança dos idos vividos! Meus idos não eram então vividos pois não tinha como entrar no "cine-teatro" de minha terra... Não me lembro de haver guardado algum prejuízo daquilo que outros tiveram e eu não podia ter. Não houve revolta em minha infância.9 years ago
