Additional info/contents	The fast introduction already brings striking chords. Then the orchestra plays the first theme, typically in the style of gypsy music, and the musical course calms down a little. Towards the end, the key changes from major to minor. Once again motives from the gypsy music are taken up and developed, until finally striking chords are set. The coda also quotes the 'Rakoczi March', a symbol of the Hungarian spirit of resistance.

Programme notes: "Long live the Hungarian" is the title of the translation of this fast polka, and in fact the composer dedicated it to "The Hungarian Nation". This dedication was also accepted, the Schnellpolka enjoys great popularity in Hungary. Already at its premiere, the Polka was received enthusiastically "at the Pest National Festival under true national jubilation". The composer was undoubtedly inspired by Hungarian gypsy music.
