The Emperor Waltz

A novel with three narrative strands: 4th century Rome, Weimar Germany, and late 20th century London. In each place, a small coterie is closely connected and separated from the larger world. In each story, the larger world regards the small coterie and its passionately held beliefs and secrets with suspicion and hostility. It is the story of eccentricity, its struggle and its triumph.
Emperor Waltz, Op. 437

The Emperor is the epitome of Johann Strauss, Jr. waltzes. Johann inherited his father's title, "the Waltz King." The Emperor Waltz is a very musical work that explores numerous textures while retaining the traditional waltz pulse in a stunningly beautiful setting. (5: 14)
