The toast stressed the necessity of bonds of friendship between the two nations. Mr Simrock suggested changing the title to &#8220;Kaiser-Waltzer&#8221; to please the two emperors. However, when it was published, only the Austrian Imperial Crown was emblazoned on the title page!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4>Scroll down to listen.<\/h4>\n<p>Serena O&#8217;Meara has arranged Johann Strauss Jr.&#8217;s &#8220;The Emperor Waltz&#8221; for lever harp duet or pedal harp duet.
