The Operetta and Hollywood composer,
Oscar Straus (1870 Vienna - 1954 Bad Ischl/Upper Austria) was one of
very few emigrants who were lucky enough to managae a new start in
Europe. In 1950, the  aged composer met Max Ophuls in Paris by
chance, just when Ophuls was finally able to make a film of
Schnitzler's Reigen (Round Dance) with music by Straus. Straus
intimated the decadent atmosphere of the subject with his Reigen waltz
and returned to the musical language of his youth (Illustration, Straus
as a young man). It is possible to explain the popularity of the
''Reigen-Walzer'' (Example, main theme of the Waltz) on its own with the
composer's ability to give the waltz idiom the dimension of an
apparently eternal means of expression.  (M. Saary)
