Jabuka Quadrille
The Jabuka Quadrille is a quadrille , the Johann Strauss Jr. is credited (Op. 460). The place and date of the premiere are not known.
Remarks
The quadrille was put together based on motifs from the operetta Jabuka , which premiered in 1894 . The work thus joins a series of compositions (opus numbers 455 , 456 , 457 , 458 , and 459 ) that take up all the themes from this operetta. However, there is one special feature here. Originally, Strauss had only undertaken to compose a waltz based on motifs from this operetta. He did that with the waltz I'm good to you! (op. 455) also made. When later the discussion arose about the further utilization of operetta themes for other pieces of music, Strauss and his client could not agree on a price. As a result, it turned out that conductor Louis Roth should be entrusted with the production of these works. He then also provided piano reductions of the Zivio March (op. 456) and the Polkas The Comitat goes up! , Dance with the broomstick (op 458), sunflower (op. 459) and finally the Jabuka quadrille (op. 460). All of these pieces are only available in the original as a piano reduction. For the CD recordings under the Naxos label, all of these pieces had to be rearranged by Christian Pollack . For the reasons mentioned above, it is also uncertain whether and when these pieces were performed at all when they were composed
The playing time on the CD listed under individual records is 5 minutes and 36 seconds. This time can vary somewhat depending on the conductor's musical conception.
