This Conductor Score combines Pedal and Lever Harp versions of The
Emperor Waltz . The versions only differ in the pedal/lever markings and an
occasional harmony note.
In 1889 Johann Strauss, Jr. gave his Berlin publisher, Fritz Simrock, a new
waltz entitled Hand in Hand. It was a celebration of the toast made by
Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I during a visit to German Kaiser Wilhelm II.
The toast stressed the necessity of bonds of friendship between the two
nations. Mr Simrock suggested changing the title to Kaiser-Waltzer to please
the two emperors. However, when it was published, only the Austrian Imperial
crown was emblazoned on the title page!
