Additional info/contents	The Treasure Waltz (op. 418) is one of the six dance music arrangements based on melodies from Johann Strauss' operetta The Gypsy Baron, which premiered on October 24, 1885 at the Theater an der Wien (libretto: Ignaz Schnitzer). As the surviving autograph score proves, Strauss arranged this waltz himself, which was by no means a given for the practice in the dance music genre at the time. The title of the waltz is derived from the scene in the operetta in which Sándor Bárinkay discovers an old Turkish war treasure in the walls of a ruined tower (2nd act, no. 9 trio Saffi, Czipra, Bárinkay "Ha, see it waves, it flashes, it rings"). Strauss opens the second waltz of the Treasure Waltz with the melody of this trio. Even before the printed orchestral parts appeared, the Strauss Orchestra, led by brother Eduard, played from handwritten material, and Johann Strauss himself conducted the premiere of the Schatz Waltz on November 22, 1885, at a concert given by his brother in the Great Hall of the Society of Friends of Music in Vienna.
