"The Blue Danube" is the common English title of "An der schönen blauen Donau", Op. 314 (German for "By the Beautiful Blue Danube"), a waltz by the Austrian composer Johann Strauss II, composed in 1866. It is not one waltz but a chain of five interlinked waltz themes. Originally performed on 15 February 1867 at a concert of the "Wiener Männergesang-Verein" (Vienna Men's Choral Association), it has been one of the most consistently popular pieces of music in the classical repertoire. It is Austria’s second national anthem. It is the inescapable conclusion to each New Year’s Day concert in Vienna.
