Waldine

'''Waldine''', [[opus number|Op.]] 385, is a [[polka-mazurka]] composed by [[Johann Strauss II]]. The title is taken from one of Strauss' [[operetta]]s, ''[[Blindekuh (operetta)|Blindekuh]]'' (''Blind Man's Buff''). ''Waldine'' was the last, as well as the least successful, of the five orchestral dance compositions that Strauss had arranged on tunes from the operetta, having been first performed an entire year after the premiere of the operetta, where it was conducted by [[Eduard Strauss]] in the [[Musikverein]] in [[Vienna]] on December 7, 1879.<ref name=naxos>{{cite web |url=http://www.naxosdirect.com/store/cso/STRAUSS-II-J-Edition---Vol-11/title/8223211/ |title=STRAUSS II, J.: Edition — Vol. 11 CD |access-date=25 October 2008 |publisher=Naxosdirect |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714162406/http://www.naxosdirect.com/store/cso/STRAUSS-II-J-Edition---Vol-11/title/8223211/ |archive-date=14 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
