[Strauss II, Johann. (1825-1899)]. "Geschichten aus dem Wiener Wald," manuscript copy. Tall Folio, 56 page meticulous handwritten manuscript full orchestral score in an unidentified hand, written on Carl Fischer, New York Monarch Brand paper. Conductor's performance markings in German written thoughout. Based on the style of the Carl Fischer Lion logo, we can date this to 1925-1927, though the copyist and the conductor remain unknown to us.
Composed in 1868, Geschichten aus dem Wienerwald, op. 325 was one of six Viennese waltzes by Johann Strauss II which featured a virtuoso part for zither. The waltz's premiere that year reiterated the ascendancy that the dance had made from its humble village origins to become one of the pleasures of fashionable Viennese society, largely thanks to the performing and composing talents of the Strauss dynasty. Nevertheless, the title of Strauss' dance recalls the folk music of the inhabitants of the Vienna Woods.
