Polka Schnell for flute quintet

Imagine you are preparing for an excursion in fine ​19th century ​Vienna society! ​ ​You might put on your​ favorite ​outfit and​ pack a picnic​ before climbing ​into ​the steam engine ​train​ to travel to the Prater or to Schönbrunn Castle! ​ Such would be the setting provided by this lively​ Strauss​ ​(1825-1899) ​Polka​. Here we have a charming and festive ballroom dance​ that would be a great concert opener or an encore.
