The "Beautiful Blue Danube" was first written as a song for a carnival choir (for bass and tenor), with rather satirical lyrics (Austria having just lost a war with Prussia). [1] The original title was also referring to a poem about the Danube in the poet Karl Isidor Beck's hometown, Baja in Hungary, and not in Vienna.
As a writer he wrote contributions to the August 1840-42 published music journal "Orpheus" as well as song lyrics, as a composer he set to music in addition to his own especially those of his contemporaries. Gernerth is still known today for his text version of the waltz on the beautiful blue Danube. [2]
