First Thought Arranged by Enrico Sieber (original by J. Strauss II)

On the occasion of the 200th birthday of Johann Strauss II, I had the honor of completely rearranging his very first piece. It is a special honor because I can feel a strong connection to him. IFact, this piece, "Erster Gedanke" (First Thought), was written by Strauss when he was only six years old and lasts just 40 seconds (which I introduce until 0:37). I had the pleasure of extending it.Just under three minutes with lots of embellishments. If you listen closely, you may be able to hear other well-known pieces by him.
