Johann Strauss II (1825 – 1899) was known in his lifetime as “The Waltz King”, who composed a vast number of dances, as well as operettas and ballet. Im Sturmschritt (By Storm) is a fast polka that was written in 1871. It is based on motifs from Strauss's operetta Indigo und die 40 Räuber (Indigo and the 40 robbers), and has a similar quality to Offenbach's famous Can-Can.
