Here’s a waltz everybody knows, but the audience at its premiere did not entirely go with the flow. The work was intended to boost Viennese morale after Austria’s defeat at the hands of Prussia in the Seven Weeks’ War.

The first-night crowd hated them and the piece received just one encore making it, in Strauss’s terms, a disaster.
