Jubilee Waltz
The Jubilee Waltz is a waltz by Johann Strauss Sohn without an opus number. The work was first performed on June 29, 1872 at the Coliseum in Boston .
Remarks
During his trip to America in 1872, Johann Strauss performed many supposedly new productions. Some of these works, however, were not novelties, but rather combinations of earlier works. The Jubilee Waltz also falls into this category . The work was composed of the following earlier Strauss waltzes: Jux-Brüder , op. 208, Lava- Ströme , op. 74, Die Joviale , op. 34, Hofball-Tänze , op. 298, Vibrationen ", op. 204, and Man lives only once , op. 167. In the coda, Strauss quotes the later (since 1931) American national anthem The Star Spangled Banner .
The premiere of the Jubilee Waltz took place as part of a peace festival. The work was dedicated to Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore (1829-1892), the organizer of this festival. The CD recording mentioned below is based on a new instrumental version written by Jerome D. Cohen.
The playing time on the CD listed under individual records is 7 minutes and 16 seconds. Depending on the musical conception of the conductor, this time can vary by up to about a minute plus or minus.
