The Venezuelan waltz differs from the European waltz in its rhythm which may alternate between 3/4 and 6/8 time and in its more syncopated style.  The Merengue is a dance which comes originally from the Caribbean and which is joyous is spirit.  Continuing the 19th Century tradition of other composers of Venezuelan waltzes, Lauro named many of his pieces after people or places.
