Although known as the ‘Waltz King’ Johann Strauss II also wrote a large number of polkas. This clever mosaic by Ed Keeley, includes interwoven themes from The Czech Polka, Pizzicato Polka, Tritsch Tratsch Polka, Thunder & Lightning by Johann Strauss II, Lumbye’s Champagne Galop and to finish, in fine classical foot-stomping style, the finale contains references to William Tell, Ode to Joy and 1812.
