Johann Strauss II - Blumenfest-Polka, op. 111
Loading...
Uploaded by Fledermaus1990 on May 13, 2011
The original piano edition of Johann's Blumenfest-Polka declares that the work was "performed for the first time in the Imperial-Royal Glashausgarten [= Greenhouse Garden, now the Burggarten] in Vienna on 18 May 1852 at the Flower Festival organised by the all-highest Imperial Court". In fact, poor weather had forced the postponement of the event from earlier that month, and when the rescheduled date arrived one of the principal guests, Tsar Nicholas I, had already left Vienna. Rather than delay the première of his new polka still further, Strauss chose instead to launch it publicly in the Volksgarten on 14 May with the Constantin Infantry Regimental Orchestra, at a grand spring fête celebrating the name-day of her Imperial and Royal Highness the Archduchess Sophie.
