Waltzes by Johann Strauss Jr

The Austrian composer Johann Strauss II, in his lifetime known as “The Waltz King”, had his greatest success within the “light music” genre, particularly dance music and operettas.

An der schönen blauen Donau, piano transcription

He composed almost 400 waltzes during his life, among which the most popular are:
- On the Beautiful Blue Danube (An der schönen blauen Donau)
- Wine, Woman and Song (Wein, Weib und Gesang)
- Tales from the Vienna Woods (Geschichten aus dem – Wienerwald)
Emperor Waltz (Kaiserwalzer).

These are all included in the selection of totally 17 waltz-transcriptions for solo piano that we have added to our sheet music library.
