This stunning concert arrangement is for Lever harp but there is also a
Pedal harp version, and the two may be performed together. They 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!
