Wo die Zitronen blühen
"" (; "Where the Lemons Blossom", or "Where the Citrons Bloom"), Op. 364, is a waltz by Johann Strauss II written in 1874. The waltz was composed during a tour of the composer in Italy where he travelled with the Langenbach Orchestra of Germany and performed the work at the Teatro Regio in Turin on 9 May 1874. The waltz came after a successful premiere of his famous operetta "Die Fledermaus" and Strauss originally entitled the waltz as "Bella Italia" (Beautiful Italy) for his Italian audiences before renaming it "" after a quote from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's  novel "Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre" – "" (Do you know the land where the lemons blossom?). Strauss's waltz (as most of his waltzes dating from around this time) follows the structure of an introduction followed by three two-part waltz sections and a coda, instead of his earlier format of five two-part sections. This structure was to feature in most of his later waltzes although he did not set it as a definite and permanent structure. Waltz 1 The work begins in a tranquil fashion in G major, with a reflective solo violin melody in the introduction. A series of loud  chords precedes the gentle first waltz section. The second section is more animated with a second part in D major. The wistful nature of the waltz is further expanded in the third section. A lively coda recalls earlier melodies and the first waltz section makes another entry. Near the end of the work, the introduction's solo violin melody returns before the waltz rises to a "forte" and climaxes with a timpani drumroll. Vienna New Year's Concert.
