The Kaiser-Walzer was originally titled "Hand in Hand" and was intended as a toast made in August 1889 by Austrian emperor Franz Josef on the occasion of his visit to the German Kaiser Wilhelm II where it was symbolic as a "toast of friendship" extended by Austria to Germany. Strauss' publisher, Fritz Simrock, suggested the title Kaiser-Walzer since the title could allude to either monarch, and thus satisfy the vanity of both rulers. The waltz was first performed in Berlin on 21 October 1889.
Da Capo & Dal segnos have been written out in full in this edition for ease of use.
