Programme notes: The "Annen Polka" is a polka by Johann Strauss son (op. 117). The work was first performed on July 24, 1852 in the garden of the pub Zum Wilden Mann in the Vienna Prater. The polka was premiered on the occasion of the annual Annenfest in the Vienna Prater. It was dedicated to all women with the names Anna, Nina or Nanette. This polka became one of the composer's greatest successes with his polkas. Even today the work is still one of the most frequently played Strauss pieces ever. Even his contemporaries were enthusiastic. It is ironic that this delicate polka was premiered in the garden of the restaurant Zum Wilden Mann, of all places. Sometimes a dedication of the work to the former Empress Maria Anna (1803-1884) is mentioned. But there is no evidence of this. Quelle/Source: Wikipedia
