One heart, one meaning
One heart, one sense is a polka mazur by Johann Strauss Sohn (op. 323). The work was performed for the first time on February 11, 1868 in the Redouten Hall of the Vienna Hofburg .
Remarks
The polka was written for the citizens' ball in Mardi Gras in 1868 and performed at this event in the Vienna Hofburg in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph I and dedicated to the ball's committee. Incidentally, it should be the last citizens' ball of this kind. Soon after, the committee disbanded and there were no more citizens' balls for some time . In the so-called Wilhelminian era, other organizations became more important and industrial society, for example, played an increasingly important role with its festive balls. The middle class (and the citizens' balls ) were pushed into the background. The Polka One Heart, One Sense is to a certain extent also a farewell composition from the citizens' balls . In 1899, Adolf Müller also resorted to this polka when he compiled the operetta Wiener Blut from musical motifs by Johann Strauss, who had recently died .
The playing time on the CD listed under individual records is 6 minutes and 1 second. This time can vary somewhat depending on the conductor's musical conception.
