Carnevalsbilder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carnevalsbilder (Carnival Pictures), opus 357, is a waltz composed by Johann Strauss II. The waltz is based on melodies from Strauss' operetta Der Karneval in Rom. Strauss conducted its first performance in Vienna on 9 July 1873. Oscar Straus later arranged the second waltz theme of Carnevalsbilder for his operetta Drei Walzer [de] (Three Waltzes) as the soprano aria "Ich liebe das Leben" (better known in its French version, "Je t'aime)".[1]
