Geschichten aus dem Wienerwald (Tales from the Vienna Woods), a patriotic masterpiece composed in 1868 by Johann Strauss Jr., praises the beauty of the Vienna Woods: a richly forested area stretching across the Austrian states of Lower Austria (Niederösterreich) and Vienna. This icon of Viennese music is regularly performed during the New Year's Concerts given by the Vienna Philharmonic.

Geschichten aus dem Wienerwald also features the zither, a musical instrument common in folk music in Austria and the surrounding countries. If a zither is not available, the part in this transcription for wind band can also be played by a double-reed or saxophone ensemble.
