The charming concert polka
Mein Teddybär (‘My Teddy Bear’) is the best-known work by the composer and violinist Johann Wilhelm Ganglberger, who was born near Vienna and studied orchestration with Richard Heuberger and conducting with Carl Ziehrer. He went on to direct numerous Viennese orchestras from the violin, and was eventually appointed as Orchestra Director at Radio Wien in 1925, by which time he had become very popular with the Viennese musical public.
