The Großfürstin Alexandra-Walzer ("Grand Duchess Alexandra Waltz") was composed by Johann Strauss II in 1856, during a stay in Russia. It uses various Russian motifs and stylistic elements. The waltz was named after and dedicated to Grand Duchess Alexandra of Saxe-Altenburg (1830-1911), who had attended several concerts. Alexandra was also a dedicated musician herself, and several of her compositions were incorporated by Strauss in his own works. Performed by the Eesti Riiklik Sümfooniaorkester (Estonian National Symphony Orchestra), led by Neeme Järvi. The accompanying painting of Grand Duchess Alexandra was made by the German artist Franz Xaver Winterhalter (1805-1873).

This trio sonata in F major was composed by Jean-Féry Rebel (1666-1747), a French Baroque composer and violinist. It is named after the Roman goddess Venus. Performed by Ensemble Rebel. The accompanying painting of Venus and Cupid was made by French artist François Boucher (1703-1770).

This march was written in 1864 by the Prussian composer Johann Gottfried Piefke (1815-1884), during the Second Schleswig War (which saw Prussia and Austria fighting against Denmark). The march was specifically composed to accompany the Prussian assault against the Danish defences at the Battle of Dybbøl. Denmark suffered a severe defeat in this battle and would ultimately lose the war, forcing it to surrender control over the duchies Schleswig, Holstein and Lauenburg. Performed by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Band of Tokyo. The accompanying painting depicts the Prussian forces driving away the Danish troops. It was made by the German artist Wilhelm Camphausen (1818-1885).
