>   Strauss wrote over 550 compositions: polkas, operettas, marches, individual dances and of course--almost synonymous with Strauss and Vienna--waltzes.  In 1867 he composed perhaps the most famous piece ever written, "The Blue Danube."  The phrase "pop hit" to refer to a popular success was first applied to this piece.
