Programme notes: The composition was premiered on 16.02.1868 in the Dianasaal at the "Hesterusball" held there. This incredibly stirring and lively polka is a prime example of how Strauss was able to translate extra-musical impressions into compositions. A thunderstorm is said to have inspired him to this work. The thunder is translated musically by timpani rolls, the cymbal is "responsible" for the lightning. The world premiere is attested by the entry in the notebook of his brother Josef and the notes of the horn player of the Strauss-Kapelle, Franz Sabay. Quelle/Source: MusicaInfo
