I recognize more Strauss music than any other composer from my days before classical music. Its beautiful, elegant and makes you smile. A nice break from all the intense music other composers wrote. It seems like a whole different world when this music was composed in. The blue danube is like a theme song to a dream world, what plays in my head while im asleep. Its definetly worth it to listen to it more than once a year, try once a month at least.

From your lips darts loveliness, flowers from your face,
Love fires from both your eyes, your hands shoot music's grace,
With your looks you rob their sight, their ears you stop with song,
Poor men! Pursued from every side, the hunt will not last long.

I beg to differ You know perfectly well what I mean. That building is not the Staatsoper or the cathedral... The first time you come to Vienna you think the river will be in the middle, like everywhere else, but never see it. |

You know perfectly well what I mean, too. I wonder if you and Uffe are by any chance the same person?

The city of Bamberg is divided by the River Regnitz. The slightly farther south city of Nuernberg is divided by the River Pegnitz. I did not make that up.
What I don't know about Viennese waltzes and might like to is why there is the custom of anticipating the second beat in every measure. Is it so that the Viennese can claim that they are the only ones who can interpret they own waltzes?
