Summary/Abstract: In the process of its development, the musical art passes through stages in which the synthesis between the instrumental genres and dance music has a key role, on the one hand for the attraction and popularization of art, and on the other hand it leads to the advance and enrichment of the artistic value of the works of art. In classical music, the strongest influence on the instrumental genres is exerted by the dances included in the suite as well as the menuet and the waltz. Analogous trends have been observed also in the development of the jazz styles. Analysis has been made of emblematic pieces characterized by the synthesis between modern jazz and different genres of dance music.
