The twenty-nine piano arrangements in this superb collection are complete measure for measure transcriptions of the best known waltzes and favorite polkas, galops, quadrilles and polka-mazurkas of Johan Strauss Jr. Neither too facile nor overly difficult, they are immensely satisfying for pianists of many levels of accomplishment to play. Reprinted here from authoritative G. Schirmer editions, they are presented without cuts, the introductions and codas intact, the original suggestions for cuts to facilitate dancing retained. Included are Waltz favourites such as 'On the Beautiful Blue Danube', 'Tales from the Vienna Woods', 'Vienna Blood', 'Voices of Spring', 'Roses from the South', the 'Emporer Waltz' and highlights from 'Die Fledermaus'. The sparkling 'Pizzicato Polka', 'The Bayadere' galop and 'One Heart, One Mind' polka-mazurka are sure to delight pianists with their soaring Straussian spirits and haunting rhythms. “ 's Gibt Nur A Kaiserstadt, 's Gibt Nur A Wien!” / There's Only One Imperial City, There's Only One Vienna!, Op. 291 Auf Freiem Fusse / At Large, Op. 345 Aus Der Heimath / From Home, Op. 347 Cagliostro-walzer/Cagliostro Waltzes, Op. 370 Die Bajadere / The Bayadere, Op. 351 Donauweibchen / Danube Mermaid, Op. 427 Ein Herz, Ein Sinn / One Heart, One Mind, Op. 323 Emperor Waltz Op.437 [Strauss II, Johann] Fledermaus-quadrille, Op. 363 Freut Euch Des Lebens / Enjoy Life, Op. 340 Fruhlingsstimmen / Voices Of Spring Indigo-quadrille, Op. 344 Kunstlerleben / Artist's Life, Op. 316 Kuss-walzer / Kiss Waltz, Op. 400 Leichtes Blut / Leight Character, Op. 319 Lob Der Frauen / Praise Of Women, Op. 315 Methusalem-quadrille, Op. 376 Morgenblatter / Morning Journals, Op. 279 Neu-wien / New Vienna, Op. 342 O Schoner Mai! / Oh Beautiful May, Op. 375 Op. 410 Pizzicato Polka Rosen Aus Em Suden / Roses From The South, Op. 388 Tales From The Vienna Woods Op.325 (Geschichten Aus Dem Wienerwald) Tausend Und Eine Nacht / A Thousand And One Nights, Op. 346 The Blue Danube Waltz Op.314 Wein, Weib Und Gesang / Wine, Woman And Song, Op. 333 Wiener Blut / Viennese Blood, Op. 354 Wildfeuer / Wildfire, Op. 313 You And You (Die Fledermaus Op.367) [Strauss II, Johann]
