"Script error: No such module "Lang"." by Johann Strauss II

Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Script error: No such module "Lang"., Op. 214, is a polka in A major by Johann Strauss II, written in 1858 after a successful tour of Russia where he performed in the summer concert season at Pavlovsk, Saint Petersburg. It was first performed in a concert in Vienna on 24 November 1858.[1]

Script error: No such module "Lang". (chit-chat) refers to the Viennese passion for gossip. Strauss may also have been referencing the burlesque Template:Ill by the famous Austrian dramatist and actor Johann Nestroy, which premiered in 1833 and was still in the stage repertoire when the polka was written.

The mood of the piece is jaunty and high-spirited, as were many of Strauss' polkas.
