Programme notes *: At the "Ball der Stadt Wien" (Ball of the City of Vienna) on 19 January 1893 in the ballroom of the Vienna City Hall, Ziehrer's waltz "Donausagen" (op. 446) was premiered by the music of the "Hoch- und Deutschmeister" under the direction of the composer. The report in the "Neue freie Presse" of 20 January 1893 states that this "Ball of the City of Vienna" was considered the most beautiful of all Viennese balls. It was particularly distinguished by the visit of Emperor Franz Joseph, who normally only rarely attended balls apart from the "Court Ball" and the "Ball at Court". Ziehrer dedicated the "Donausagen" to the King Regent Marie Christine, widow of the Spanish King Alfonso XII, who died in 1885. She was a daughter of the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand Karl, who was also present as a ball guest - along with numerous other high and highest rulers. The piano edition published by Aug. Cranz in Hamburg shows a Danube female in the Danube reed, Vienna can be seen as a silhouette in the moonlight in the background. To characterise the countries that line the banks in the long course of the Danube, Ziehrer uses Hungarian motifs on the one hand - some of which he borrowed from his own Hungarian rhapsody "Vesztett Szerencse" ("Lost Happiness") - as well as country dance motifs and a few bars of a Bosnian kolo (they come from the ballet "A Wedding in Bosnia" by Josef Bayer). The head melody of Waltz I could be inspired by Waltz "Valurile Dunării" ("Danube Waves") by the Romanian military bandmaster Josef Ivanovici.
