CCTV9英语新闻12月：蓝色多瑙河开始圣诞季（在线收听）

A familiar tune that makes you want to tap your feet or dance during the Christmas season is the Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss.

It is traditionally played on New Year’s Day, and has become the unofficial Austrian national anthem. At this time of year, thousands of pairs of feet are waltzing away to the Blue Danube Waltz.

A Viennese ball would not be complete without this tune, and it is popular with both locals and tourists here in Austria.
