My grandmother won the title "Queen of the Ball" dancing on this waltz in 1930. She was 17 years old at that time! It was a dance-ball contest, and she won the first place on this final Blue Danube waltz. The jury gave her a prize (we don't have it) and a painting (we still have it) and the title of "Queen of the Ball" My grandmother told us that at that time she really felt the waltz inside of every cell of her body and let the music carried her away. Good rest her in peace!

[@ianmummert3145]

I don’t know why classical music has this timeless effect that no other form of music can copy. As music trends die classical music has always been there and will stay for a long long time.

[@pubcle]

Folk also endures similarly, due to its cultural ingraining. Certain songs maintain from many genres, for instance In the Mood and Sing Sing Sing survive yet from Big Band. If I were to name the causes orchestra has a particular grip it would be the... not simplicity but lack of gimmick, sort of purity of the orchestra in that it's purely a series of instruments and their players in a large harmony. The fact they're deeply ingrained in culture and most songs following them thus draw some inspiration from them, that they are many life times old and have been traditionally played.

[@segmentsAndCurves]

Natural selection. It's natural selection. Classical music is not all music that "old", just some (lucky one) of them. Also, pop music that goes by trends, they tend not to last long on the map.

Picture yourself, in 1870. And you’ve just been invited to the grandest ball of the year hosted by the Russian Tsar in his royal palace. The ball is filled with opulence, gold accented walls, the smells of various perfumes, and the chatter of various beautifully dressed people. The song is played by the orchestra.

This is most popular waltz of all the times. Composed by Johann Strauss II in 1866 and performed on 15th February 1867.Words were added by Joseph Weyl. Orchestral version was adopted for Paris World Fair in 1867. This waltz by Johann Strauss II has made Blue Danube river popular land mark. You would recognize this immortal piece of music in movie 2001 Space Odyssey. People who hear and see moving water of river feel they are listening to Blue Danube Waltz with the sounds and movements of waves. Here it is presented with world's best paintings by best artists. So this is a tribute to best composer of all the times and best artists.

When I was a young kid growing into my double digit age, listening to foreign music was a serious crime I could cause my parents to be accused of. Knowing that well (?) I would still often tune into "foreign enemy's stations" on AM channels on our two-knobbed, cloth covered radio, stick my little head as close as possible to the radio , listen to those "foreign" "corrupting" music, and turn the radio off at any sound of parents' arriving near me. This waltz was one of the many pieces I fell head to toe in love with at that tender age! Music, a universal language I was born with, but denied the right to enjoy by a demon like political system! Now I have been an American for three decades, I still often feel the heavenly gratefulness whenever I have the music on. Both my children are very successful and both had extensive classical music education by a famous Russian pianist and her violinist husband!

This song has for me a kind of a strange feeling ever since the day it was played at my grandmother's funeral. And believe it or not, it made people cry. It seems like an odd choice for a a funeral "An der schönen blauen Donau" at a funeral (to be honest, it was a choice that also surprised the undertaker), but in my grandmother's case not so strange, as she loved to dance. Or "gedaansen" as she called it in the local Dutch dialect. This was a piece she has often danced on, and when the song played at the end of the funeral service (or rather cremation service) a lot of people saw her dancing one last time in their minds. Fortunately I can still like the piece as a classic work. The song always makes me wonder how it would be sitting an der schönen blauen Donau.

I listened to it in its entirety for the first time, last night. And was bawling my eyes out at how beautiful it is. I want it played at my funeral

Massive props to Lifting Dreams here for assembling this video with the paintings so aptly matching the movements of the waltz. Along with the captions of the painting titles and artists with the well-timed fades, truly a subtle masterpiece of video editing to accompany the music being played.

The paintings in the video are what Johann Strauss wanted you to have in mind when you listened to this. Of course, after 2001: A Space Odyssey premiered in 1968 no one in the Westernized world can hear it without seeing the Orion spaceplane on final approach to Space Station V, or the Aries Moon shuttle on final approach to Moonbase. Either way, this is elegant music for a more civilized age.

Okay, I agree, but you sound like that doesn't happen anymore, when in fact that's not true. Music is subjective. Overtime, it changes how it appeals to its emotional value. Of course, the global taste of trending music overshadows all music in general, but never think that music is lost. It's always there.
