Johann Strauss II's Blue Danube Waltz (1866) is the quintessential Viennese waltz — graceful, lilting, and endlessly charming. On a steel tongue drum its flowing 3/4 melody glides beautifully, the instrument's smooth sustain emphasizing the dance's characteristic rise and fall. A lovely piece that captures the elegance of nineteenth-century Vienna in just a few simple phrases.
How to play Blue Danube Waltz (Johann Strauss II) on a tongue drum
The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major scale, counting up from the lowest tongue. A dot above a number raises it one octave; a dot below lowers it. The small teal letters show the matching key in the Tongue Drum Online player.
Start slowly, one phrase at a time. Let each note ring out fully before striking the next — the long decay is the whole character of the instrument. This is a easy arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Blue Danube Waltz (Johann Strauss II).
