Increased pulse
Heightened Pulse is a waltz by Johann Strauss Sohn (op. 175). The work was performed for the first time on January 8, 1856 in the Sofienbad Hall in Vienna.
Remarks
The waltz Increased Pulse was composed for Mardi Gras in 1856 and premiered on the occasion of the medical students' ball (medicine ball). In the general carnival hustle and bustle, the response at that time was restrained. But Strauss lovers appreciate parts of the waltz and count them among the composer's best works.
The playing time on the CD listed under individual records is 8 minutes and 40 seconds. Depending on the musical conception of the conductor, this time can vary by up to about a minute plus or minus.
