Catalogue Note
This is a splendid autograph page by Strauss for a Waltz-Sequence from Der Rosenkavalier, with the fulsome waltz theme associated with the odiously self-confident Baron Ochs ("with me no night will be too long"). Del Mar observes that "it is on this undeniably ben trovato ditty that Strauss's fame as a writer of waltzes and the world-wide popularity of the opera most securely rests".
