Johann Strauss Jr. (1825-1899), The Waltz King of Vienna, was beginning to focus more on composing staged operettas over concert works when he was asked to write a dedication waltz to celebrate the wedding of the Emperor Franz Joseph I's daughter Archduchess Gisela Louise Maria to Prince Leopold of Bavaria. The waltz, titled WIENER BLUT (VIENNESE BLOOD), Op. 354, was first performed on April 22, 1873, and is notable as being the first work by Strauss performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, which had rejected his works previously in an effort to avoid association with "light" music. A mature waltz, it showcases Strauss' move towards the symphonic concert style, with extended melodies and more varied development. Instrumentation: 2(2nd dPicc).2.2.2: 4.2.3.0: Timp.Perc(2): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set). Reprint edition.
