The Blue Danube is said to be Austria's secret anthem, and alongside the Radetzky March it is the traditional encore piece at the annual New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Already at its world premiere in 1867, this orchestral work triggered overwhelming enthusiasm, and the premiere of the choral version prompted a journalist to use the term Schlager (hit) for the first time in music history. The official title By the Beautiful Blue Danube is based on poems by Karl Isidor Becks; having his birth town Baja in mind, he contrasted the blue Danube with another river, the blonde Theiss. How utterly astonishing that this famous waltz is not really linked to Vienna. Be that as it may, its sensational popularity remains unimpaired.

A beautiful arrangement by Richard Meyer of Waltz Number 1, Waltz Number 2, and the Coda from the original, set perfectly for the first full-orchestra experience. Perhaps the most widely popular composer of light classical music ever, Johann Strauss, Jr. wrote over 150 waltzes, bringing the form to perfection as an extended musical composition. The Blue Danube (the common English title of An der schonen blauen Donau---German for By the Beautiful Blue Danube), was composed in 1866 and was premiered in February of 1867. It has been one of the most popular classical pieces ever since. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
