Vöslauer polka

The Vöslauer Polka is a polka by Johann Strauss Sohn (op. 100). The work was first performed on August 24, 1851 in Ungers Casino in Vienna.

Remarks

The title name of the polka refers to the spa town of Bad Vöslau , which is about 35 kilometers south of Vienna near the city of Baden . It is not known whether Strauss visited this place as a spa guest or as a musician. What is certain is that he named this polka after the spa town. The premiere took place on the occasion of the Hernalser Kirchtag (church fair ) in Ungers Casino in Vienna.

The playing time on the CD listed under individual records is 2 minutes and 48 seconds. This time can vary somewhat depending on the conductor's musical conception.
