Johann Strauss II

I am grateful for the gift of music.

My music is a reflection of my love for life.

The waltz is a dance of elegance and grace.

I strive for perfection in every composition.

The waltz is a celebration of beauty.

I believe in the power of a good melody to uplift the spirit.

The waltz is a dance of passion and romance.

My music is a testament to the joy of living.

The waltz is a dance that transcends all boundaries.

I am simply a channel for the music that flows through me.

The waltz is the poetry of motion.

Music must first and foremost be danceable.

I compose for the heart, not for the intellect.

The Blue Danube flows in every heart that loves.

Vienna is the soul of the waltz.

Harmony is the key to happiness.

My father's shadow taught me to step into the light.

A good melody lingers like a sweet perfume.

Life is a waltz: turn, glide, repeat.

I write music to make the world smile.
