Who's behind the notes? Discover Johann Strauss Jr.: The Waltz King
The Blue Danube is Johann Strauss II's most famous waltz and has become an unofficial anthem of Vienna. Originally composed as a choral work for the Vienna Men's Choral Association, its instrumental version became tremendously popular after its performance at the 1867 Paris World's Fair. The waltz's graceful melody and flowing rhythm perfectly capture the romantic spirit of the Danube River and Viennese musical tradition.
