Viennese sweets

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wiener Bonbons is a waltz by Johann Strauss Sohn (op. 307). The work was performed for the first time on January 28, 1866 in the Redouten Hall of the Vienna Hofburg .

Remarks

The waltz was written for the carnival ball of the industrial society of the Danube Monarchy in 1866 and performed accordingly in the redouten hall of the Hofburg. This is not the obligatory waltz dedicated to society. Johann Strauss left the composition of this work to his brother Josef , who then composed the waltz Deutsche Grüße (Opus 191) and dedicated it to industrial society . The waltz Wiener Bonbons was dedicated to Princess Pauline von Metternich (1836–1921), the wife of Richard Klemens von Metternich (1829–1895), who was then the Austrian ambassador in Paris. The background to this dedication was the idea of ​​receiving on-site support from the Princess on the occasion of Johann Strauss' planned trip to Paris. The work itself was a great success and is still one of the composer's masterpieces.
