300 is a waltz by Johann Strauss II written in 1865 and first performed on January 17, 1866, at the Habsburg Court Ball in the Rittersaal of the Imperial Hofburg Palace graced by the Emperor Franz Josef and Empress Elisabeth.
[2] For the Fasching of 1866, Strauss had dedicated three new waltzes and 'Flugschriften' belongs to one of the composer's inspired creations in 3/4 time.
As the music progresses, the mood became tense and a short chord interrupts, heralding the graceful 1st waltz section.
Further melodies are introduced but such were the musical ideas of the work that it would not be triumphant and joyful.
The coda recalls earlier waltz sections, rounded up by the re-entry of the first waltz section and a spirited close with a snare drumroll and regular brass flourish.
