Op. 387 belongs to one of my favorite original waltzes by Johann II from the period dominated by his operetta's compositions. And what is interesting, perhaps among all Strauss's masterpieces, it is stylistically closest to Ziehrer's waltzes. The march melody in introduction, later transformed into waltz 2A section, is awesome!
