An der schönen blauen Donau

"An der schönen blauen Donau" is a waltz composed by Johann Strauss in 1869. The waltz is a firm highlight of the New Years Day concerts by the Vienna Philharmonic, even though it is not on the official program. The piece has 4 sections. This arrangement is of the introduction and the first section. This gives your band a nice opportunity to work in styles not often used in bands, have a listen to the orchestra for good suggestions on style and interpretation.
