Thursday Thirteen #19
On this day in 1825 Johann Strauss II was born. Even if you didn't know what you were listening to, chances are you've heard some of his compositions. Although he wrote polkas, marches, and even operas, the most famous of his compositions are his waltzes. So, in honor of The Waltz King, today I give you13 Waltzes by Johann Strauss II
1. An der schönen blauen Donau -- The Blue Danube (my favorite, so it had to be first)
2. Geschichten aus dem Wienerwald -- Tales from the Vienna Woods
3. Wein, Weib und Gesang -- Wine, Women and Song
4. Wiener Blut -- Viennese Blood
5. Frühlingsstimmen -- Voices of Spring
6. Lagunen-Walzer -- Lagoon Waltz
7. Schatz-Walzer -- Treasure Waltz
8. Wiener Frauen -- Viennese Ladies
9. Kaiser-Jubiläum-Jubelwalzer -- Emperor Jubilation
10. Kaiser-Walzer -- Emperor Waltz
11. Rosen aus dem Süden -- Roses from the South
12. Morgenblätter -- Morning Journals
13. Wiener Bonbons -- Viennese Sweets
The Blue Danube is probably his most famous waltz, followed closely by Vienna Woods and the Emperor Waltz.
Today's question
One of the waltzes above was written for words penned by a local poet. Leave a guess in the comments. The first one to get it right will go into my monthly prize drawing.Labels: Johann Strauss II, Thursday Thirteen, Waltzes

Gotta love the German language. :)
When we visited there a few years ago, managing with just a basic phrase book was more of a challenge for me than in it was in France. I don't speak French, but it's similar enough to Spanish that I could figure most things out. Not in Germany, though!
But after a while, I noticed a pattern, and even managed to ask an innkeeper for extra pillows and blankets without resorting to sign language. :)

Thanks for the info, and Happy TT!
My guess is that it was the Blue Danube. I seem to remember reading that when it was first performed it had words, which Strauss hated, and thereafter it was strictly just an orchestral piece. Incidentally, it was used to great effect in the movie 2001.
Thanks for playing!
Happy TT!!! Have a great weekend!!!
Good to see you! :-)
