Remarks

The polka was created by Johann Strauss during his trip to Russia in 1863. Originally the title was Invitation to Polka Mazur . But since French was more common than German in Russia at the time, the name was simply translated. Since then the work has been called Invitation a la Polka-Mazur . In Russia, however, the title name was shortened to invitation . The premiere in Vienna took place on November 29, 1863 at a benefit concert by the Strauss brothers.

The playing time on the CD listed under individual records is 4 minutes and 50 seconds. This time can vary somewhat depending on the conductor's musical conception.
