Little John. The story of Strauss: It can be said that his life was smooth and prominent. Even after his death, he seemed to have received special treatment. In the city park of Vienna, we visited the famous golden statue of Strauss. The "King of Waltz" stood on the high music stage, playing the violin with concentration. Behind him is a beautiful circular marble relief. Now, it has become a major landscape in Vienna. Before we finished taking photos, we saw a newlywed Chinese couple coming here to take photos.
Little John. Strauss was born into a musical family and wrote more than 500 works in his lifetime, most of which were dance music, including waltzes, polkas, marches and some operettas. Among them, he is famous for the typical "Vienna Waltz" he created, especially his "Blue Danube" which is widely circulated around the world.
It is said that his "Blue Danube" was created to revive the country's prestige. In July 1866, Austria suffered a disastrous defeat in the Austro-Prussian War, and the citizens of Vienna were in a low mood. At that time, Herbeck, the conductor of the Vienna Male Choir Association, invited Strauss to write a chorus praising the mountains and rivers of the motherland to inspire people's national pride.
One day, the composer suddenly remembered the German poet Karl. Baker's poem describing the Danube River: "By the Danube River, by the beautiful, blue Danube River..."
The charming artistic conception in the poem inspired the composer's musical inspiration. The melody is like a spring flowing through his pen. A wordless "Blue Danube" waltz was born.
After the music was written, Herbeck asked Joseph, an Austrian professional policeman and family poet. Lyrics by Wile. Due to its crude lyrics and inappropriate content, the chorus received a mediocre response when it was first performed on February 15, 1867. Half a year later, at the Paris International Exposition, the orchestral piece "The Blue Danube" was conducted and performed by the composer himself, and it achieved unexpected success. The next day, the French poet Barbier re-wrote the lyrics for the waltz in French. Later, the orchestral and choral piece "The Blue Danube" became popular all over the world and became Strauss's masterpiece.
Wagner praised this work as "surpassing many works of the time in terms of beauty, sophistication and true musicality".
