A journey to the Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss II

Sara Mohr-Pietsch plans a route to the Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss II.

Sara Mohr-Pietsch plans a route to the Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss II. It was originally written for choir and orchestra, but became much more popular just for instruments. On the way we hear other music written at the same time, with pieces by Wagner and Saint-Saens; we sample some Viennese cafe music; and there are other pieces written for rivers, including music for the River Thames and the Rhine.
