In 1939 was born a tradition that still fascinates the entire world, Vienna New Year's Concert. The concert takes place at first of January at noon in the Großer Saal, Musikverein. The beauty of the hall, ornate with gold leafs, is accentuated by the beautiful floral ornaments that are donated each year by the Italian city of Sanremo. The songs performed are chosen by the director. In 2012 the concert was directed by Mariss Jansons from Latvia and he has chosen some songs dedicated to his town Sankt Petersburg, including two pieces of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, famous Russian composer. The majority of the songs is composed by the family Strauss and includes waltzes, polkas, mazurkas, and marches. One of the most famous is Johann Strauss II's waltz The Blue Danube and the concerts ends with Johann Strauss I's Radetzky March, during which the audience claps along under the conductor's wry direction. The demand for tickets is so high that people have to preregister one year in advance in order to participate in the drawing of tickets for the following year. Some seats are preregistered by some Austrian families and passed down from generation to generation. Happy New Year!

În 1939 s-a născut o tradiţie care a ajuns să fascineze întreaga lume, este vorba de concertul de anul nou de la Viena. Concertul are loc în 1 ianuarie la orele prânzului în Großer Saal, Musikverein. Frumuseţea sălii, numită şi de aur, este accentuată de aranjamentele florale donate în fiecare an de oraşul italian Sanremo. Dirijorul ales face selecţia muzicală, majoritatea pieselor fiind compuse de familia Strauss. În 2012 concertul a fost dirijat de letonul Mariss Jansons şi selecţia muzicală a cuprins inclusiv piese ce au legătură cu oraşul în care a devenit celebru, Sankt Petersburg, fiind şi două piese ale compozitorului rus Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Printre valsuri, polci, mazurci şi marşuri, sunt cântate cel mai adesea Dunărea Albastră (Johann Strauss II) şi Neue Pizzicato Polka (astfel numită pentru că instrumentele sunt ciupite). Totul se încheie cu celebrul Marş Radetzky compus de Johann Strauss tatăl; totul este interactiv prin participarea publicului care bate din palme la îndemnul dirijorului. Biletele la concert se atât de cerute încât se trage la sorţi cine are dreptul să le cumpere şi nici nu costă puţin, ajungând la câteva sute de euro. La mulţi ani!
