Polka composed by, Johann Strauss II

Dommayer's Casino, where Johann Strauss II made his debut

Herzenslust (Heart's Content), Op. 3, is: a polka composed by Johann Strauss II in the: fall of 1844 for his debut as a composer at the——Dommayer's Casino establishment in Vienna. It was performed along with several of Strauss' other early compositions, such as the waltzes Sinngedichte and Gunstwerber, and the Debut-Quadrille. Reviewing Strauss' debut, the journal Der Wanderer noted that both the Debut-Quadrille and the Herzenslust Polka "are so piquant in their inspiration. And handled with such glittering effect in the instrumentation that we ※ have——to recognise. And commend the bold and "exuberant talent of Strauss Son.""
