Johann Strauss II - Furioso-Polka - Quasi Galopp, Op. 260

The title page illustration on the first piano edition of Johann's Furioso-Polka (quasi Galopp) perfectly captures the mood of this fiendishly exacting novelty with its rapid modulations, alternating between major and minor keys: two demons are pictured stretching a rope across a dance floor, intent on tripping up the frantically whirling couples.
Although Johann Strauss the Elder wrote a Furioso-Galopp (1839), based largely on Liszt's Grand Galop Chromatique, Johann II's thrilling Furioso-Polka is an entirely original composition. Strauss conducted it for the first time at a benefit concert for his orchestra on 14 September 1861 (= 2 September, Russian calendar) during that year's concert season in Pavlovsk, although the work appears to have excited no particular attention there. The Viennese première of the piece followed on 17 November 1861 in the Sofienbad-Saal, after the composer's return from Russia.
