Additional info/contents	Johann Strauss II's Furioso Polka, Op. 260, premiered in 1861 in Pavlovsk near St. Petersburg, is a striking example of 19th-century Viennese dance music. The work impresses with its fast tempos, precise rhythms, and catchy melodies. Originally composed for orchestra, it was arranged for wind band by Peter WesenAuer. This arrangement emphasizes the woodwind and brass sections, preserves the dynamics of the original, and places high technical demands on the musicians. Today, the Furioso Polka is a popular repertoire piece for wind bands and serves as a cultural link between Vienna and Russia. It demonstrates how classical music can remain vibrant through modern arrangements and continues to be an indispensable part of the repertoire, combining joy, energy, and musical virtuosity.
