- Wiener Bonbons, or “Viennese” Bonbons, is a waltz written in 1866. Strauss dedicated the waltz to influential Austrian socialite Princess Pauline Metternich-Winneburg, whose husband was the Austrian ambassador to Paris.
- Viennese Bonbons was written specifically for a concert raising funds for the construction of German hospitals in Paris. Consequently, Strauss combined elements of the Viennese Waltz with Parisian style in this piece.1
