The music for the Royal Fireworks was composed in 1749 for the celebration of the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle (Aachen) which brought to an end the War of Austrian succession. First performed in Green Park, London on 27 April 1949, the fireworks set fire to parts of the venue. There was a rout and everything came to an abrupt end. Another performance was given some weeks later - without fireworks - and was a great success.
