Marie Taglioni polka

The Marie Taglioni polka is a polka by Johann Strauss Sohn (op. 173). The work was first performed on December 16, 1855 in Vienna's Volksgarten .

Remarks

With this polka, the composer pays homage to the dancer Marie Taglioni (1833–1891), who at the time delighted the Viennese with a guest performance. Strauss dedicated other pieces of music to this dancer. Among them the Satanella Quadrille (op.123) and the Satanella Polka (op.124). The Marie Taglioni polka was originally announced as the New Year's polka , but was renamed by Strauss in honor of the aforementioned dancer and premiered at a concert by the Strauss Chapel in the Volksgarten in Vienna.

The playing time on the CD listed under individual records is 2 minutes and 58 seconds. This time can vary somewhat depending on the conductor's musical conception.
