Emperor Waltz. Par STRAUSS JOHANN (FILS). Viele halten diesen Walzer, der Kaiser Franz Joseph gewidmet wurde, für die beste Komposition von Strauß jr. - ja sogar für den Walzer aller Walzer. Der Kaiser-Walzer beginnt nicht lautstark mit Pauken und Trompeten, sondern setzt ziemlich leise und melancholisch ein und geht dann fast unmerklich in den Dreivierteltakt über. Nacheinander schließen sich vier im Charakter variierende Walzer an, gefolgt von einer ausgedehnten Coda, in welcher alle Themen noch einmal zurückkehren. Eine kleine Träumerei und zwanzig Takte mit einem sempre crescendo führen zum Schlussakkord. Ein raffinierter, verspielter Walzer, geschickt arrangiert von Wil van der Beek. / Niveau : 3 / Valse / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
