In the picturesque setting of Lake Traunsee nestled in the Austrian mountains of Traunstein, Josef Strauss and his wife Caroline were captivated by the sight of dragonflies gracefully gliding over the water's surface. This encounter served as the muse for "Die Libelle". The charming Polka-Mazur was first performed on 21 October 1866 and recorded by Johannes Brahms in 1889.
