Description:
Johann Strauss II composed BEI UNS Z'HAUS WALZER, Op. 361 (WITH US AT HOME or THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME), in 1873 to celebrate the Vienna World's Fair (Wiener Weltausstellung), an event that symbolized Austria-Hungary's aspirations toward industrial and cultural prominence. The waltz was dedicated to Princess Marie Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst and premiered at one of Strauss's concerts during the fair, held in Vienna's grand Musikverein. It reflects the cosmopolitan elegance and domestic charm associated with Viennese high society, capturing both the public spectacle and the intimate pride of "home." While not as universally recognized as THE BLUE DANUBE, BEI UNS Z'HAUS remains a beloved gem in Strauss's repertoire, admired for its lyrical warmth, stylish instrumentation, and its evocation of 19th-century Viennese life. It continues to be performed in concert settings and remains a testament to Strauss's melodic ingenuity and cultural resonance during the golden age of the waltz. Instrumentation: 1+Picc.2.2.2: 4.2.3.0: Timp.Perc(1): Str (9.8.76.5 in set): Pno Cond Sc in set. Reprint edition.
