"Erster Gedanke" Arr. Enrico Sieber (original J. Strauß II)

On the occasion of the 200th birthday of Johann Strauss II, I had the honour of completely rearranging his very first piece.
It is a special honour because I can feel a strong connection to him.
In fact, 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 to just under three minutes with lots of embellishments.
If you listen closely, you may be able to hear other well-known pieces by him.
