The first three marches are by Resnitschek; the fourth ("Reise-Marsch") is by Czerny. Worldcat records two other volumes from the series, but none including these numbered marches.

Josef Resnitschek (who used this Germanized spelling of his last name) was the grandfather of Emil Nikolaus von Reznicek (1860–1945), the composer of the opera Donna Diana (1894), whose sprightly overture continues to be a favorite with audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.

In 1830, the Berlin slide entrepreneurs Friedrich Gericke and Ernst Wagner established the entertainment venue Tivoli east of the castle grounds Schönbrunn Palace (Tivolistraße 79 / corner of Hohenbergstraße 58, in Vienna-Meidling, 12th District). The plot had an existing classicistic countryside villa with an imposing viewing platform affording impressive views of Vienna and its environs. Initially, the venue's biggest sensation crowd puller was a four-track slide incorporated into the extensive gardens. The Tivoli was opened on 5 September 1830 by the imperial couple. The luxurious entertainment establishment had several buildings and a large projecting platform which enabled the visitors to enjoy a beautiful view over Vienna and the Tivoli gardens. The slides consisted of four adjacent tracks and about some fifteen two-seater cars which slid down the hill at high speed in a wave-like line.  Johann Strauss and his orchestra performed many new compositions of waltzes and other dances in the Tivoli garden pavilion. In 1834, the high operating costs forced the establishment to be sold.
