Eminent Viennese composer (1825–1899), aka the “Waltz King,” best known for such all-time favorites as “The Beautiful Blue Danube” and the “Emperor Waltz” and for the operetta staple Die Fledermaus. Superb AMQS on an off-white 7.5 x 4.75 album page, five measures from On the Beautiful Blue Danube, signed “Johann Strauss, New York, 12th July 1872.” Matted with a portrait to an overall size of 16 x 9. A hint of very subtle soiling, otherwise fine, bright condition. An exceptional example from this most familiar beloved of classics! Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
