Blue Danube sheep baa.

1866, Austria-Hungary was defeated in the Puao War, and the people in Vienna, the capital of the empire, were depressed. At that time, Johann Strauss II was the conductor of the Viennese court ball. In order to get rid of this emotion, Little John accepted the entrustment of Herbeck, the conductor of Vienna Men's Chorus Association, and wrote a chorus symbolizing Vienna's vitality for his choir. At this time, although Johann Strauss II had composed hundreds of waltzes, he had not created any vocal music. The lyrics of this choir were featured by the poet Gunnar. 1February 9, 867, this work premiered in Vienna. Because Vienna at that time was under the siege of Prussia, people were pessimistic and disappointed, so this work was also unfortunate and its premiere failed. It was not until February 1868, when Johann Strauss II lived at No.54, Brett Street, not far from the Danube, that this chorus was changed into an orchestra, and many new contents were added, and it was named Blue Danube Waltz. In the same year, little John personally conducted the music of the Paris World Expo and achieved great success. Only a few months later, this work was released in the United States. In an instant, this waltz spread all over the world and later became the most important masterpiece of little John. To this day, this piece of music is still deeply loved by people all over the world. At the Vienna New Year Concert held on New Year's Day every year, this song even became a repertoire, which was traditionally played just after midnight on New Year's Eve.
