Dance pieces
Dance macabre by Camille Saint-Saƫns is one most wonderful and popular piece in this category

Dance of the Knights, appropriate on a chess site!

and Sibelius
Valse triste was apparently composed mainly for the purpose of getting income. Sibelius was in fact not happy that this piece got so much attention and acclaim. But it is a masterpiece

i have read much about Finland's war with Russia in 1939-40. A proud heritage. This Video shows a rare view of Sibelius!!;www.youtube.com

Finlandia
Thank you bjorn-viking and brigadecommander for your contributions. The video is indeed unique, though a little too pompous for my taste (but I am sure it is quite old). The only thing mistaken there was to call Finlandia a symphony   Here is the Finlandia played by London Symphony Orchestra

Interestingly, the "Finlandia hymn", which is in the middle of this piece became the national anthem of some countries (not Finland).
