Annika Quadrille

The Annika Quadrille is a quadrille by Johann Strauss Sohn (op. 53). It was first performed on March 16, 1848 in Bucharest .

Remarks

Like the Marien-Quadrille (op. 51), the work was created on the composer's trip to the Balkans in 1847/48. Romanian melodies are also processed in this quadrille. In this case there is no dedicatee. It is also not known which Annika was meant by the title name. The orchestral version was lost. The CD recording mentioned below was made with the help of an arrangement by Vladimir Haklik based on the piano reduction.

The playing time on the CD listed under itemization is 4 minutes and 46 seconds. This time can vary somewhat depending on the conductor's musical conception.
