How do you decide which style to use for a song?


But even more so, when i hear a song, when to use a foxtrot, swingfox, otherfox?
Or 8 beat and 16 beat? How to recognise them?

Is there some literature that explains this?

I think i have allways been lazy on this behalf..
Allways playing from sheetmusic, where most of the time there is a style indication printed.. or just google them.. or just take a style that sounds good with the song..
Or even easier, on yamaha just pick one of the numerous songspecific styles..

Sure, i have allways been able to edit an excisting style, to sound better...by muting parts or even adding a new bassline or so.. and just by listening selecting a style thats close (often the right type), just based on my feeling.. but never on any form knowledge

But now i wanna take the next step...
What defines the different musical styles..
What are the essential differences between a slow-wals, an english wals and a vienna wals?

Quick step, 2 step... ?

So preferably i would like some good literature about this...


Thanks for listening to
