Remarks

The Slovianka Quadrille was created in 1869 during Johann Strauss' last season in Pavlovsk. The work was composed of Russian melodies and premiered on October 5, 1869. Nothing is known about the further performance practice in the following years. This quadrille is not one of the composer's great success numbers.

The playing time on the CD listed under individual records is 5 minutes and 23 seconds. This time can vary somewhat depending on the conductor's musical conception.
