Among the most widely popular composer of light classical music ever, Johann Strauss, Jr., wrote over 150 waltzes and brought the form to perfection as an extended musical composition. By the 1860s the waltz had become the exhilarating symbol of an elegant way of life, its lively sophistication mirroring the sparkle and joie de vivre of imperial Vienna and charming the world into dancing in three-quarter time. Now musicians and music lovers can enjoy eight of Strauss's finest waltzes, reproduced from authoritative editions, in this sturdy, attractive collection. They include The Beautiful Blue Danube; Artist's Life; Tales of the Vienna Woods; Wine, Women and Song; Wiener Blut; Roses from the South; Voices of Spring; and Emperor Waltz. Replete with inspired melodic invention and harmonic felicities, most of the scores have been reprinted directly from excellent German and Russian editions. In this inexpensive treasury they offer a rich source of inspiration and delight for every waltz lover.

Following the universal success of his dance music, Austria's "Waltz King," Johann Strauss, Jr., turned his attention to operetta. Die Fledermaus (The Bat) was one of his finest efforts. Transforming a witty piece from the French vaudeville stage into a humorous Viennese confection tinged with mock-sentimentality, he created a sparkling masterpiece that premiered to instant acclaim on the Vienna stage in 1874. A New York production appeared within a few months, followed by other successful performances around the world. To this day, the celebrated work remains a standard of the repertoire and is frequently produced on New Year's Eve in a special all-star gala performance by New York's esteemed Metropolitan Opera. This affordable volume, reproduced from an authoritative German edition, contains the complete vocal score, including all dialogue in both the original German and a fresh, new English translation by Stanley Applebaum, prepared specially for this publication. It will be an indispensable rehearsal aid for soloists, chorus members, and pianists.
