The work "Celestial Music" was conducted when Barenboim first conducted the Vienna New Year's Concert, and it may be that the conductor himself has a special love for it, and at the 2022 Vienna New Year's Concert, Barenboim once again chose it.
Celestial Music and Sound Officia, composed in 1868 at the invitation of the Viennese Medical Students' Ball, is composed of a prelude, five small round dances and an ending. Although the homework he finally handed in was "not correct", after the premiere, he completely conquered the audience.
"Celestial Music" is undoubtedly one of the composer's most popular works, and the most performed round dance of Josef Strauss in the history of the Vienna New Year's Concert, in which Josef Strauss showed his extraordinary talent in melody and instrumentation, as well as the rich experience accumulated by more than a decade of musical experience. Its otherworldly beauty completely jumps out of the form of round dance, leaving a strong mark in the history of Western orchestral music.
