Concurrenzen is a waltz by Johann Strauss Sohn (op. 267). The work was performed for the first time on January 29, 1862 in the Sofienbad Hall in Vienna.
Remarks
The waltz was composed in Mardi Gras in 1862 for the industrial society ball . The balls of this society pushed the previously leading citizens' balls more and more into the background and gained more and more importance from 1861 onwards. Occasionally they were even visited by the emperor. The name Concurrenzen then referred to a rivalry between two railway companies that was quickly resolved.
The playing time on the CD listed under individual records is 8 minutes and 49 seconds. Depending on the musical conception of the conductor, this time can change by up to a minute plus or minus.
