Remarks

On February 18, 1853, the Hungarian tailor János Libényi committed a knife attack on Emperor Franz Joseph I , in which the monarch was seriously injured. The assassin was overwhelmed and after some time the emperor recovered from his injuries. Johann Strauss used this opportunity to once again prove his loyalty to the monarch and the imperial family by composing this march with the long but meaningful title. Musically, he combined the melody of the Austrian emperor's anthem, once created by Joseph Haydn , with his march, which underlined its patriotic purpose. The work was on the occasion of a Strauss concert in the dance hallPremiered Zum Sperl .

The playing time on the CD listed under itemization is 3 minutes and 36 seconds. This time can vary somewhat depending on the conductor's musical conception.
