The Vienna New Year Concert mainly performs dance music works of the Strauss family. Except for the "Blue Danube" Waltz and the "Radetzky" March that must be performed in the annual encore, other works are performed by the conductor according to his personal preference or the orchestra's requirements. Despite this, there are quite a few works that appear much more frequently than others. For example, Johann Strauss's "Infinite Motion" polka, "Excursion Train" fast polka, "Small Talk" polka, "Bandit" Gallop, "Bat" Overture, "Lightning and Thunder" fast polka, "Noble Hungary" "Man" Fast Polka, "Sounds of Spring" Waltz, "Story of the Vienna Woods" Waltz, "The Life of an Artist" Waltz, "Viennese Temperament" Waltz, "Accelerate" Waltz, "Emperor" Waltz, "Big Lake" Waltz, "Southland" "Rose" waltz, "Wine, Women and Song" waltz, "Enjoy Life" waltz, etc.
In addition to the works of Little John with the highest frequency of appearance, the works of Joseph Strauss are second. Joseph's more classic works are "The Rider" Polka, "Little Mouth" Quick Polka, "Carefree" Quick Polka, "Reader's Letter" Quick Polka, "The Blacksmith" French Polka, "Dragonfly" Mazurka Polka , "Hand in Hand" Mazurka Polka, "Women's Heart" Mazurka Polka, "Watercolor" Waltz, "Delirium" Waltz, "Celestial Music" Waltz, "Austrian Swallow" Waltz, etc.
Nowadays, among the Strauss family, the appearance rate of the works of Johann Strauss Sr. and Edward Strauss is much smaller. Old John's more classic works include "Passion" Gallop, "Indian" Gallop, "Dear Anna" Polka, etc. Edward's more classic works include "Thunder and Lightning" fast polka, "Joy" fast polka, etc.
In addition, the "Pizzicato" polka collaborated by John and Joseph is also a very classic work. The four-part dance "Defense" performed by the three brothers is also a classic.
