Bosendorfer Strauss

Art Case Grand Pianos

In 1890, Johann Strauss and Ludwig Bosendorfer met while celebrating Carnival at the city mayor’s hall. They soon become friends and were often seen playing Tarock cards. Strauss, whose waltzes were already legendary in Vienna, purchased a Bosendorfer piano for his home (the instrument is still on display at the Johann Strauss museum in Vienna). This piano is inspired by Strauss's own Bosendorfer grand piano. The fanciful music desk design, rounded legs and Austrian coat of arms are a reminder of the lively tunes of Strauss's noble times. The interior of the piano is - as always - a Bosendorfer Artisan Collection Grand Piano. Available in three sizes and a host of custom finishes, this stunning instrument is an ideal monument to "The King of Waltz."

The Viennese Waltz - made famous by Strauss - is known all over the world. In fact, “The Blue Danube” – composed by Strauss in 1867 – is regarded as Austria’s unofficial national anthem.
