thumb|upright=1.25|Title page of first (piano) edition, 1864, arranged by the composer himself Morgenblätter (Morning Papers), Op. 279, is a Viennese waltz composed by Johann Strauss II in 1863 and first performed on 12 January 1864 at the Sofiensaal in Vienna.
==Genesis== The work's genesis was attributed to the composition of a waltz by Jacques Offenbach later titled "Abendblätter" when Offenbach dedicated his work to the influential Vienna Authors' and Journalists' Association (). The association had earlier intended the "Abendblätter" waltz (untitled by Offenbach when first dedicated) to be played at their Concordia Ball on 12 January 1864.
