The Ferdinandus Waltz, composed by Constanze Geiger when she was just 12, will be the first work by a female composer performed by the Vienna Philharmonic in its New Year's Concert.
Raimund Lissy led the rediscovery of Constanze Geiger's music with his biography, highlighting her early talent and the recognition she received from prominent figures of her time.
Geiger began performing her own compositions at age 8, capturing attention in Vienna, while both Johann Strauss père and son conducted her waltzes at balls.
Describing Geiger's music, Lissy noted, 'Every portion of her waltzes is something special,' akin to the meticulous nature of pralines, emphasizing her unique compositional voice.
