In September 1827, Schubert, invited by Frau Pachler, who was also acquainted with Beethoven, spent a vacation in Graz with his friend Jenger. According to a letter he sent to Frau Pachler after returning to Vienna, the approximately two weeks spent there seem to have been comfortable. This collection of waltzes was likely composed at that time. The frequently changing registers and keys evoke the image of a composer improvising spontaneously while observing the dances of close companions.

Graz Galop, D 925 is also believed to be a work from the same period.
