D'Woaldbuama
D'Woaldbuama is a waltz by Johann Strauss Sohn (op. 66). The work may have been performed for the first time on July 30, 1849 in the Zum Goldenen Löwen restaurant in Unter-Sievering .
Remarks
The waltz D'Woaldbuama (The Forest Boys) was written on the occasion of a charity festival for the benefit of wounded soldiers. The premiere was announced for July 30, 1849 in the Gasthof Zum Goldenen Löwen in Unter-Sievering on the edge of the Vienna Woods. A proof of whether this festival actually took place could not be provided. A different premiere date would therefore also be conceivable. What is certain is that the work was played on September 17, 1849 at a festival on the Wasserglacis just outside Vienna. The success of the Länders-style waltz remained manageable. He soon disappeared from the concert programs. As with some of the other early works by Johann Strauss (Sohn), no printed copies of the orchestral parts have survived, if ever there was one. The CD recording mentioned below was reconstructed for the orchestra on the basis of a surviving piano score.
The playing time on the CD listed under individual records is 10 minutes and 9 seconds. Depending on the musical conception of the conductor, this time can change by up to a minute plus or minus.
