In 1892 Austrian Princess Pauline von Metternich organized "the Internaional Exhibition of Music and Theatre" in Prater(Vienna). For this exhibition she asked Johann Strauss junior a waltz. He promised her to offer the waltz "Seid umschlungen Millionen", op.443. Later the Princess asked Strauss to compose a ballet for the Exhibition too. Strauss, however,refused her request. The ballet was the "Donaunixe", which first performed on 13th July. It is not clear why the director of the Austrian Court Ballet, Josef Bayer composed this exihibition ballet. As the result of analysis Bayer used the motifs of 40 works by Johann Strauss jonior and "Radetzky March" by Johann Strauss senior in the ballet "Donaunixe".
