Eminent Viennese composer (1825–1899) known as the 'Waltz King,' who is remembered for such classics as 'The Beautiful Blue Danube' and the 'Emperor Waltz,' and for the operetta staple, 'Die Fledermaus.' Bold AMQS on a light green 7.25 x 4.75 album page, signed in fountain pen, “Johann Strauss, Boston.” Strauss pens two measures from 'On the Beautiful Blue Danube.' Two light vertical folds, otherwise fine condition. In June 1872, Strauss and his orchestra took part in the World's Peace Jubilee and International Musical Festival held in the Back Bay of Boston, Massachusetts. A lovely example from this most familiar and beloved of classics.
