Description

Figaro-Polka op. 320 is a French polka written by Johann Strauss II in 1867 and was dedicated to Auguste Delaunay de Villemessant, who was the editor-in-chief of the Paris newspaper 'Le Figaro'.



The polka is in the 'French-polka' style, with deliberate 'feminine' steps. The piece begins with attention-arresting chords in F major, with a tapping quality in the main melody. The piece proceeds at its own relaxed pace although it lacks nothing in terms of gaiety and delighful musical froth. As expected, its cheeky finale sufficiently affirms the polka as one of Strauss' more inspired pieces of the year.

The File contains the score and all parts as PDF files for easy printing.
