Let's look at 1875, when the first performance of Johann Strauss II's famous waltz, 'The Blue Danube,' took place in Vienna. This composition not only became a classic of the waltz repertoire but also symbolized the elegance and cultural richness of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The piece remains popular to this day, often associated with ballroom dancing and celebratory occasions around the world. In 1931, the United States adopted 'The Star-Spangled Banner' as its national anthem. Written by Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812, the anthem encapsulates the spirit of resilience and patriotism for Americans.
