So far as I can tell, In the Little Jelly Doughnut Woods is not at all about jelly doughnuts (darn). The original title was Im Pawlowsk Walde, or “In the Pavlovsk Woods”, Pavlovsk being a southern suburb of St. Petersburg, Russia, which is where the piece premiered on September 6, 1869. According to naxos.com, when the audience demanded several encores, the “commercially-minded” Mr. Strauss wanted to give it a local flavor back in his hometown, thus retitling the piece Im Krapfenwald’l or “In Krapfen’s Woods,” which referred to a popular area in the far northwestern corner of Vienna.
