Opp 241-248

Morale was low in Vienna after the suppression of the 1848 revolution, but Johann Strauss the Elder's celebratory ball in January 1849 provided new waltzes which 'were heard to general applause and were excellent.' This final volume of the complete Johann Strauss I edition includes the enigmatic Quadrille Without Title, and the celebration of a hero hailed alongside Radetzky in the Jelacic March. The Exeter Polka and Almack's Quadrille were an introduction to London society, while the Radetzky Banquet March was left incomplete at the time of the composer's death.
