The waltz "Sobre las olas" ("Over the Waves") is the best-known work of Mexican composer Juventino Rosas (1868–1894), who first published it in 1888.[1] It "remains one of the most famous Latin American pieces worldwide", according to the "Latin America" article in The Oxford Companion to Music.[2] It remains popular as a classic waltz, and has also found its way into New Orleans Jazz and Tejano music.[1]
