This march was written in honor of the coronation of Tsar Alexander II.
The title page of the first piano edition of the "Grand Dukes March", carries the dedication: "composed by Johann Strauss, conductor, to commemorate the high presence in Vienna of Their Imperial Highness Grand Duke Russian Nikolay and Michael".
