Strauss, Rosen aus dem Süden Op. 388 (Doblinger) Rosen aus dem Süden (Roses From the South), Op. 388, is a waltz medley composed by Johann Strauss II in 1880 with its themes drawn from the operetta Das Spitzentuch der Königin (The Queen's Lace) inspired by a novel by Heinrich Bohrmann-Riegen.
Beethoven admired Handel and often arranged his works for study. One such arrangement is the orchestral fugue from "Solomon," which he transformed into a string quartet. This adaptation is now a historical document and an impressive ensemble piece.
