In 1869 the concert season in Pavlovsk near St Petersburg was drawing to its close. The brothers Johann and Josef Strauss had been engaged to perform for it, and in the late summer Johann composed one more polka for it, paying tribute to the setting by giving it the title Im Pawlowsker Wald (In Pavlovsk Wood). The piece was first performed at the brothers’ farewell benefit concert at the Vauxhall pleasure grounds in Pavlovsk on 25 August 1869 (the date according to the Julian calendar then used in Russia), or 6 September according to the Gregorian calendar. The Pavlovsk Strauss Orchestra played, with Johann Strauss II himself conducting.
