World premieres
Blue Danube Waltz and other works by Johann Strauss (son)
- February 15 : The world premiere of the waltz On the Beautiful Blue Danube op 314, by Johann Strauss (son), takes place in the Dianabad hall in Vienna . The work is presented as a choral waltz with a satirical text by Josef Weyl from the Wiener Männergesang-Verein and the band of Infantry Regiment 42, both directed by Rudolf Weinwurm . The work 'strikes a fire' and the term “Schlager” is used for the first time in the criticism. Nevertheless, the waltz, the orchestral version of which will be performed for the first time on March 10 , initially did not gain acceptance .
