Unter den Linden (waltz)
In Unter den Linden around 1900.
Unter den Linden ("Under the Linden Trees") op. 30 is a waltz by Johann Strauss III first performed by the composer on June 2 1900.
Johann III undertook a five-month Concert tour of Germany and the Netherlands in 1900. Johann III wrote to his friend on 23 March 1900:
„Now I intend to write a waltz for Berlin and call it „Unter den Linden“ since curiously enough this title has not yet been used“.
This work was premiered in Neues Königliches Opernhaus Berlin on June 2 1900. This waltz is a representative work of Johann III, it picked up a very rare concert[1] and CD[2] today. (Not appeared on Vienna New Year's Concert)
