Nachtfalter

Template:Short description Nachtfalter (Moths) Op. 157, is a waltz by Johann Strauss II. It was first performed at a parish festival ball at Unger's Casino in the Vienna suburb of Hernals on 28 August 1854.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

The double meaning of the German word {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} for 'moth' and 'nocturnal reveller' is captured in the two parts of the waltz, first depicting the whirring wings of the moth, then the gay melodies of Vienna's nightlife.
