preface
This arrangement developed during the preparations for the CD production "Strauss in Vienna" (Nimbus Records NI 5542) with the ensemble "Quintett Wien". The work based on the orchestral score of the waltz.
In the introduction, the wind player solos were taken from the original, in the sequel however, attempts were made, using the means of a classical woodwind quintet, to achieve the greatest possible tonal variations in the individual waltzes.
A special reference can be made to the role of the bassoon which has a bass and accompaniment function in the quintet movement, although its mode of playing is intended to imitate the constantly swinging sound of a double-bass. The accompaning notes on the second and third beat are always to be kept short. The dynamik symbols are mainly taken from the original, the respective melody instrument stands out somewhat from the basic dynamic.
I would like to thank my colleagues for their helpful tips I received during the preparation work and the music publishers Mersich & Kiess for their friendly cooperation.
