Walzerkrieg

Having never heard a Viennese waltz, young Queen Victoria orders the British ambassador to Austria to check out a prominent composer named Joseph Lanner. The ambassador intends to bring Lanner and his orchestra to England, but is sidetracked when discovers that first violinist Strauss is the most musically gifted of Lanner's aggregation. When Strauss is presented to Victoria's court, a "war of music" develops between the young violinist and pompous English composer Sir Philip.
