When the 'French Party' organised a "Napoléon Festival" for 12 October 1854 at Karl Schwender's Casino in Rudolfsheim, the Morgen-Post announced that, on this occasion, Johann would conduct the Strauss Orchestra in the first performance of a specially composed Napoleons-Fest-Marsch (Napoléon Festival March). That November it was announced in the Viennese press that "his Majesty, the Emperor Napoléon III, has been pleased to accept the dedication of the 'Napoleon March' composed by Johann Strauss." For his part, the French monarch expressed his gratitude to the young Viennese 'Musikdirektor' by arranging for him to be presented with a valuable pearl tiepin. To this day the swaggering Napoleon-Marsch enjoys considerable success wherever it is played - although it continues to present Strauss researchers with an intriguing puzzle. For the second theme of the trio section, Johann Strauss incorporated a French "national melody", the identity of which he took with him to the grave.
