Description
This transcription was created on the basis of a book published in 1912 by Gerlach and Wiedling.
Although various arrangements have been made in the 20th and 21st centuries (including piano solos and voice and strings settings which have been recorded) I have not seen a transcription of the original song itself online. So here it is.
The original Viennese dialect is transcribed from Gothic to Roman script but unchanged in any other way.
The pdf includes a scan of the original published version for interest.
The sound file is an electronic preview.
Josef Lanner is widely regarded as the first to popularise the Viennese Waltz style.
