In the 19th and early 20th century, numerous different waltz forms existed, including versions performed in 2/4 or 6/8 (sauteuse), and 5/4 time (5/4 waltz, half and half). Now, waltzes are primarily in 3/4 timing. This is the conventional way in which they are written - especially because a waltz is a dance, and it is practically impossible to dance in a waltzing manner to a piece that is in 4/4 timing.
