@KingRobi1 Eine gute Wahl ;)

I love all waltzes composed by the Strausses. But I find it rather bothersome

to recognize the German title of each work; I do not speak or comprehend it.

Anyway, "Morgenblätter" (Morning Paper) is one of my favorite Viennese waltzes.

[JohannStraussSohn]

Accepted! I will replenish the english titles as far as I know them :-)

@karlp17 You're right .. it refers to the newspapers. I've read that Carl Michael Ziehrer once composed a waltz called "Evening Papers", in German "Abendblätter" .. so Johann Strauss II decided to name his waltz in the exact opposite .. they were always competing

@reitendeleiche

In fact it refers to papers as in "newspapers" . Trees do not have blades, they have leaves. Blatt, if I am not mistaken, also means a leaf as in sheet of paper. Perhaps Herr Strauss was waiting for his morning newspaper.

Hi! I love this waltz too, also other waltzes from Strauss father and son. I´m sure that "Morgenblätter" relates to the blades of trees, not papers, My opinion as an austrian!

The englisch title would be "morning blades".

zu KingRobi1 wie romantisch !!!!

Hör ich die Anfangsklänge, denk ich sofort an meine geliebte Operette "Wiener Blut"

@Operalover12002 So you prefer 'The beautiful blue Danube' over 'An der schönen blauen Donau'? In my opinion, one should keep the original title..

This waltz and the polka mazurka "Lob der Frauen" are, in my opinion, the best works by Strauß (one of my favorite composers).
