Like many other works of its kind,  Kaiserwalzer  is really a whole string of waltzes, not just one, and  Walzer' serves as either the plural or the singular form of the word.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, there were two  Kaiser  in German this word, too, remains unchanged in the plural involved in the creation of Strauss  music. The first was the popular Franz Josef of Austria, ever so much a symbol of Strauss  Vienna, who was in the 40th year of his reign when Strauss composed his tribute. The other was the newly elected Wilhelm II of Prussia. Strauss wrote the  Kaiserwalzer  for some concerts that formed part of the ceremonies surrounding the first state visit of the first of these, Franz Josef, to Berlin in 1889. As Peter Kemp deftly put it,  by not dedicating the music to either  Kaiser  specifically, Strauss could satisfy the vanity of both.  And regardless of its background, this is unquestionably an emperor among waltzes!  -Robert Markow, 2015\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis woodwind quintet is intermediate in difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musicians Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968685986086,"sku":"MPWQ288","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/700000000MPWQ288_d.jpg?v=1697517472","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/strauss-j-emperor-waltz","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
