Strauss' Annen-Polka had her first appearance in the garden of a Vienna Prater building called Zum Wilden Mann ("The Wild Man" in German). Polka has its name from the celebrations for the St. Anne's Day, a recurrence that falls on July 26, 1852 (one of the most important festivities of the Viennese calendar), although Johann presented his new job two days earlier on July 24, at an outdoor festival. This arrangement for clarinet quartet includes the following parts: Bb Clarinet 1 or Eb Clarinet, Bb Clarinet 2, Bb Clarinet 3 or Eb Alto Clarinet, Bb Bass Clarinet.
