Programme note:
Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka was composed by Johann Strauss II and first performed in Vienna on 24 November 1858. 'Tritsch-Tratsch' (chit-chat) refers to the Viennese enthusiasm for gossip. Strauss may also have been referencing the burlesque 'Der Tritschtratsch' by the Austrian playwright and actor Johann Nestroy, which premiered in 1833 and was still in the stage repertoire when the polka was written.
