Unter den Linden (waltz)
Unter den Linden ("Under the Linden Trees") op. 30 is a waltz by Johann Strauss III first performed by the composer on June 2, 1900.
In Unter den Linden around 1900.
Johann III undertook a five-month Concert tour of Germany and the Netherlands in 1900. Johann III wrote to his friend on 23 March 1900:
"Now I intend to write a waltz for Berlin and call it "Unter den Linden" since curiously enough this title has not yet been used."
This work was premiered in Neues Königliches Opernhaus Berlin on June 2, 1900. This waltz is a representative work of Johann III. It has been occasionally programmed since, including a 2015 performance[1] and CD.[2]
