Weinmann Strauss p. 18. <br/><br/>"Verve and a fiery spirit lie at the heart of Strauss's compositions. Of his waltzes one contemporary writer colourfully observed: 'In his waltzes a profusion of melodies effervesce and bubble fizz and froth dash and sweep like the five hundred thousand devils in the champagne slipping their bonds and flinging one cork after another into the air'. As a pioneer of the waltz Strauss along with Lanner established the foundations upon which more extended and developed melodic line and ambitious harmony and structure could be built by their successors in the field of dance music."

The 'thematic transformations' are endless the orchestral pictures fresh the pace well varied. If the musical tagging of every dramatic element sounds like period routine the opera has a saving lyrical grace: more relaxed and fluid than either his preceding Hofmannsthal opera Die Frau ohne Schatten or the more recent Intermezzo to his own text."
