Can anyone identify this piece of music?
It sounds a bit like a Strauss waltz.

It's in fact from Strauss' Kaiserwalzer; the 4th (and last) waltz of the chain before the coda, IIRC. (We violated this piece with the high school orchestra 25 years ago...)
Tout le malheur des hommes vient d'une seule chose, qui est de ne savoir pas demeurer en repos, dans une chambre.

Yes, you are correct.
I just found it myself, in the middle of the Emperor Waltz.
Thanks

High school orchestras are frequently in arrant violation . . . .
