The work features Ludwig Fischer's famous student song Im kühlen Keller sitz' ich hier in the Introduction and the coda section. Strauss' waltz brims with joy and demonstrates a creative period where he and his brothers Josef and Eduard were also on hand to dominate the musical scene in Vienna as this piece was intended for the 1864 Fasching.
