Opus 211

Johann Strauss wrote the bubbling 'Champagne Polka' for his 1858 summer concert season in Pavlovsk, where its first performance took place on 12 August under the title of 'Ball-Champagner-Polka'. Strauss obviously took great delight in weaving into the Trio section the refrain from Johann Fuß's popular tavern-song of the day: "Mir is's alles an's, mir is's alles an's, Ob i a Geld hab oder kan's!" (What do I care, what do I care, whether I've money or not!).
