Wine Women and Song op. 333-À l’instar du Beau Danube bleu la valse Wein Weib und Gesang op. 333 ( Aimer boire et chanter 1869) a été composée à l’origine pour le Wiener Männergesangverein (Chœur d’Hommes de Vienne). Johann Strauss s’est inspiré d’une citation attribuée à Martin Luther « Qui n'aime point le vin les femmes ni le chant restera sot toute sa vie » (“Wer nicht liebt Wein Weib und Gesang der bleibt ein Narr sein Leben lang”).La version originale de Strauss s’ouvre avec un long passage d’ouverture de près de cent mesures ( Quasi religioso suivie d’un Allegro ) très rarement joué. Cette transcription pour Orchestre d’Harmonie en est égalementdépourvue mais débute néanmoins avec une introduction brillante ( Maestoso ) d’où se détache la première ligne mélodique qui revient plus tard dans le quatrième air de valse. Le premier thème représente la quintessence de l’art de vivre viennois ; Strauss s’appuie sur la chanson à boire Stoß an stoß an du Liebchen mein (“Trinquons ma bien-aimée”) extraite de son opérette Wiener Blut (Sang viennois) . Les trois airs qui suivent font également preuve de vivacité et d’élégance. Et bien entendu comme dans toutes les autres valses de concert le thème initial revient dans le passage de fin. Une courte cadence endiablée clôt l’œuvre.

Les différents pupitres de l’orchestre conversent dans des passages brillants. Le style est direct et vigoureux les passages mélodiques sont délicats et élégants. Une œuvre pétillante à quatre voix pour ensemble à instrumentation variable.

Michael White writing in the Independent On Sunday newspaper says '. . .perhaps the most impressive motivated handling of orchestral forces in an output which has always demonstrated an extraordinary control of large forms. And the most telling of its time-tricks is that it compacts such a fecundity of ideas into a duration that you are astonished to discover barely exceeds 15 minutes. It feels twice as long; and I don't say that as criticism. Merely as a tribute to the substance depth and technical accomplishment of an outstanding score'. The Independent on Sunday 25th July 1993
