Anniversary Waltz (Ivonovici) • Signature Series Original

Iosef Ivanovici’s (1848 – 1905) “Waves of the Danube,” known as the “Anniversary Waltz” or “Oh, How We Danced,” originated in Europe as a Slavic folk style piano selection titled “Valurile dundrei.” It was first published in this country in 1896, and again in 1903, when it became commonly known as the “Waves of the Danube.” This familiar theme has a unique quality so rarely found in today’s music. Ivonovici’s Anniversary Waltz has a contagious melody reminiscent of a skater’s glide in a cool mountainous alpine setting and this original “Signature Series” edition by Jonathon Robbins is a pleasure to read and a fantastic addition to your ceremonial repertoire.
