Radetzky March, Op. 228 is a march composed by Johann Strauss Sr. in 1848. It was dedicated to the Austrian Field Marshal Joseph Radetzky von Radetz.
When it was first played, in front of Austrian officers in attendance, they promptly clapped and stomped their feet when they heard the chorus. This tradition is carried over today when the march is played in classical music venues in Vienna, among members of the audience who are familiar with the tradition.
Hello everyone, can anybody tell me the name of that theater room? I might go to Vienna sometime later and I ´d like to be there on New Year´s eve. Thanks!
@artfortheworld Hello, the Neujahrskonzert traditionally takes place in the Musikvereinssaal in Vienna unfortunately it is sold out for years and the cards are quite expensive anyway!
This makes me weep with joy...my Dad's favourite. The magnificent performance, stunning floral displays, evident delight of the audience, brilliant conductor...what more could anyone want?
Maravilloso, casi de fantasia su ejecución y la interacción con la audiciencia, en verdad, maravilloso, Vale la pena vivir para disfrutar obras como esta del genial talento humano.
Some people need to read a little more history. Franz Josef was not so much tolerant as appeasing, first granting Home rule to the Hungarians after the debacle of the 1866 Austro-Prussian (Italian) war, in which in the Prussians destroyed the Austrian North Army with superior tactics, training, and small arms (the first effective breech loading rifle) while the South Army , as usual, made mincemeat of the Italians.
West and the South. Austria ( like germany) was devided in 4, as well as Vienna. 15th of May 1955 the miracle of Europe: Molotow ( Soviet Minister of Foreign Affairs) agreed on the State Treaty, signed by him, Dulles Foster (US), MC. Millan (GB) and Pinay (F). 1956 the last Allied soldier ( 26. of October) left the country and now we are a little republic.
Ok. Austrian History in short, all the rest on different pages, WIKIPEDIA etc.etc. Thanks and regards from Vienna
of Austria did not agree on a referendum, Hitler wanted to force upon the Austrians, and 15. of March the first Nazi-Germans troops crossed the Austrian boarder, welcomed by thousands and thousands of Nazi-Austrians ( about a 30% of the population was NAZI). And that was the end . The president could flee to the US, the Name of Austria was forbidden by Capital penalty ba the Nazis, and finally as of March 45, the Red Army, liberated the east and north, Americans, Brits and French came from the
Franco, Salazar like catholic oriented autoritarian regime, most socialist, communist ended up in concentration camps or fled to foreign countries ( Czechoslovakia, Switzerland etc.). Dollfuss was asassinated by the Nazis. and Seyss - Inquart ( later on Goverbneror of the Netherlands and one of the biggest criminals in the Nazi period, executed at Nuremberg ) took over as minister of interior affairs. And that was the beginning of the end. The president of the Republic of
1914, where Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand ( he was nominated successor to the throne after the suicide of Franz Joseph`s own son, Crownprince Rudolf at Mayerlin on Jabuary 30th 1889, at the age of 31) was assesinated by Gavrilovic, a Serbian nationalist, which, upon the pressur of the Germans, led to World War I. 1918 the 1st republic was declare, 1934 Civil war, the Austrian Fascists took over under Dollfuss ( this was a strongly nationalist movement, very anti - German, sort of Mussolini
remained King of Hungary, but there were just 3 joint ministries: War ( it was not called Defense, Foreign Relations and Finances.) as of then we talk up to 1918 about the Austrian - Hungarian Mionarchy. To the Slaves he refused the same rights, which led to the OPan-Slavic movement, and after having interveined in Moldava and because of the annection of Bosnia Herzegowina, we lost the Russians as Allies ( the were the closest friends to the Austrian, not the Germans !!!). Result : Sarajevo,
at Schöbrunn (Beautiful Fountain) Castle in Vienna and died there art the age of 21. His body is buried in Paris, Dôme des Invalides, as Hitler stole his body 1944 from the Imperial Burial Place, The Crypt of the Capucines in Vienna and gave him as a gift to the French, thinging thus to gain the sympathy of the French. After the Revolution of March 1848, Hungary and Czechoslavakia had ended to be independent states, after the Revolution in Hungary 1868, Hungary had to be restored, Franz Josef
in the Battle of Aspern (outskirt of Vienna) by Archduke Charles, brother of the emperor, 1809, which did not help all too much, as a few month later there was the big desaster for the Austrian in the Battle of Wagram and Napoleon could conquer the Austrian capital once more.. He got married in his 2nd marriage to Marie Louise , the oldest daughter of the Austrian Emperor, their sole sun, the King of Rome or The Little Eagle "L ´Aiglon as the French call him), Duke of Reichstadt, was born 1810
joined up Napoleon and marched against their own emperor, Franz II declared 1806 the End of the HRE in Vienna. Napoleon was defeeated in a battle by Austrian/Russian allied forces ( General Michail Kutusow for the Russians, known through Tolstois N novel War and Peace, which mentiones this battle) in the battle of Loiben ( a small village in the Danube Valley) 1805. Napoleon conquerd Vienna twice, 1805 and 1809. But for the first time he was defeated by a purely Austrian army
Their title, being Austrian rulers was Archduke of Austria, Holy Roman Emperor, King of Jerusale, Hungary, Bohemia, Galicia, Lodomeria, Illyria, Croatia, Archduke of Tuscany, King of Lombardy and Veneto etc. about a 100 differnt titles alltogether. 1804 Franz II ( as emperor of the HRE) or Franz I.

Austria was linked to the HRE ( Holy Roman Empire) till 1806, and as of 1278 the Habsburgs were Dukes of Austria a n d German Kings or Emperors of the HRE ( the first Habsburg Emperor was Frederic III., mid 15th). With Rudolf IV. their title became Archduke of Austria ( he was the son in law of Charles iV., of the Luxemburg Family, who reigned in Prague) (Major Previlege)
To all ignorants of Austrian History. Austrians d o speak German ( with minoties of the Czech, Hungarian, Craoatian, Slovenian, Italian and Roma language), but never considered themselves being German ( their origin is celtic and not germanic, to begin with). Austria was linked with the empire till 1806, but had a complete different develepment in history as Germany. 22 different languages being spoken in the period of the empire and in the Viennese directory you`ll find mor slavic,

why are you idiots arguing over political nonsense? this is music and it has nothing to do with politics... if you want to know my opinion, it wa san austrian who wrote most of the new years concert's music but how does it matter? i think that rachmaninoff and tchaikovsky were the greatest composers ever but it has nothing to do with the fact that they were russian... so stop arguing over nonsense and listen to the wonderful music!!
Emm this actually is not a truth what you have written. Year 1683 was the year of Vien siege and only because POLISH KING Jan III Sobieski helped the Austrian monarch Turkish army had been stopped.
@ bindergogo By moravians you mean polish people who were living in south part of my country (north Austria back then) after Austria took part in partition of Poland? Well excuse us for trying to regein our country which lasted longer than Austria ;)
Happy New Year to the world, and to India, from an Indian-America. I love Zubin Mehta's rendition of this march, he's a great conductor and a great Indian! Way to go! All the best to everyone in 2010.
Actually, the clapping is because originally, when Strauss played this piece, the Austrian officers hearing it was so astounded by its beauty that they started clapping, and it has carried on until this day.
Maybe so, but it is also march, wirtten for an army, so the clapping is like when soldiers boot the ground in their high riding boots. For some reason, when I hear this song, although it has nothing to do with it, I imagine the early WW2 and the magnificent German Army marching trough the Brandenburg Gate (or whatever the hell its called). This composition is simple Powerful!
@JokeeGA5: Sorry to say this, but the nazi-germans of WW2 disliked this march. This is a typical austrian march. It has a very "hopping" character which was perfect for the austrian "Paradeschritt" but not ideal for prussians "Stechschritt" -they had marches like "Preussens Gloria", you can hear the difference very easily-. The march came up after the victorious battle of custozza: The soldiers in vienna had been singing a similar melody and Strauss only had to transform it into a march...
I dont care what Germans did. All I am saying is that When I hear it, I imagine German armies marching trough Berlin. It has nothing to do with anything real, it is just my personal impression. Not to mention the guy Radetzky was not Austrian but Czech, which I happen to be as well. And He is the only Czech that was written a march.
Austrians are proud of their history. They no longer feel like has been Germans. They are proud Austrians, 600 years of tradition and Empire. The Hapsburgs...defenders of Europe...Germans, have inferiority complex....thus two world wars... Go, Austria!
@steveforsane 'Germans' you mean Prussians. Nor are they to blame for two world wars outright don't forget Hitler was an Austrian after all :P Or that Austria's inferiority complex towards Serbia began the chain of events that started WWI, see they are great at 'defending' Europe lol
an inferiority complex never did the germans that much bad either, they were then and stil are the strongest economic power in Europe.
Well, no, Germans...The Austrians rejected Hitler and his wild Jewish hatred. Thus his serving in the German arm forces and his election in Germany. The Austrians would not have elected him for dof-catcher. Yes, Austrians served a role in World History, preventing the overunning of Europe by the Muslem Ottomans and stopping Napoleon from total victory by their dilient opposion to his goals!
Cluck666 Look, why get all bend out of shape???? I was just responsing to a comment which somebody made tomy comment! Yes, This is a wonderful march tune! The Austrians have every right to feel proud of it and their rich traditions!
@steveforsane They didn't reject him at all he just cheated and lied his way out of serving Austria. Austria was one of the most enthusiatic persecutors of various groups it had a long history of intolerance wether they jews, prodestants, slavs or others. Nor did they stop Napoleon, the Russians did that.
Although despite that, you can't help but think a unifyied Germany with Austria at it's head rather than Prussia probably would of been far better for Europe..
@WarpedClock What are you talking about??? The people of the Austrian monarchy had been one of the most tolerant ever! For example their army: Each regiment was a mix of all kind of kuk-people, no matter if they had been jews, muslim or a kind of christian, nor if they had been czech, kroatian or italian. The officers of that time confirmed a very good comradeship -only the moravians had been a bit conspicuous...-
PS: Austria was the first and only SINGLE country that gave Napoleon a defeat...
@bindergogo yeah the Habsburgs themselves were but the aristocracy and government certainly weren't, why did they consistently avoid practicing religious tolerance? Or the various massacres of the Thirty Years War they were behind?
What are you on about they never won a war on thier own?? Even if they won a few battles alone Vienna fell several times, the HRE got abolished and they haemorraged territory until Russia alone decisively beat the French in 1812.
*gg* The Thirty Years War was 200 years before... And that war was a very good example for pretending religious reasons but fight for spreading the power of the own dynasty... And EVERY dynasty comitted various massacres.
No, what I was about to say is, that everytime Napoleon was defeated, it was because there had been always two or more allied nations fighting against him on the same battlefield.
what are YOU talking about??? Austrian monarchy was everithing but not tollerant. 1 austrian empire was extended in the balkans, where are muslim, in czech repubblic (actual) where are jews in the ghetto of prague (it's famous) ecc. Then is tollerance send people to die? or they used this as meat for cannon? 2 during the restauration, people of europe were divided as animal (for this reason a lot of revolution were in 1848)
Radetsky March is the official march of the Chilean Army. (Landgraf March is played in military parades as well)
It is impressive to see the chilean army parading (and playing) this march in goose-step and wearing WWI and WWII german uniforms and helmets. Get into youtube and search "parada militar chile".
The clapping is cause we Germans love marching in step^^ Nobody could stand up and walk around^^ to compansate that they do sth else which is simmilar.. clapping^^
DoirB: yes, that is tradition for this song, the audience participation. This march is about the local militia going off to war and the townspeople cheering them off... you can hear some nice little melodies in there that sound like a small 'oompa band' to send them off in style :).
in effetti esistono orchestre senza direttore , in quel caso la guida è assicurata dal primo violino... d'altronde è impossibile coordinare così tanti elementi lasciandoli in autonomia completa...

Happy New Year to the world, and to India, from an Indian-America. I love Zubin Mehta's rendition of this march, he's a great conductor and a great Indian! Way to go! All the best to everyone in 2010.

Agree with JokeeGA5 allthough I'd say it's more like WW1. :)
Powerful composition indeed!

Actually, the clapping is because originally, when Strauss played this piece, the Austrian officers hearing it was so astounded by its beauty that they started clapping, and it has carried on until this day.

Maybe so, but it is also march, wirtten for an army, so the clapping is like when soldiers boot the ground in their high riding boots. For some reason, when I hear this song, although it has nothing to do with it, I imagine the early WW2 and the magnificent German Army marching trough the Brandenburg Gate (or whatever the hell its called). This composition is simple Powerful!

@JokeeGA5: Sorry to say this, but the nazi-germans of WW2 disliked this march. This is a typical austrian march. It has a very "hopping" character which was perfect for the austrian "Paradeschritt" but not ideal for prussians "Stechschritt" -they had marches like "Preussens Gloria", you can hear the difference very easily-. The march came up after the victorious battle of custozza: The soldiers in vienna had been singing a similar melody and Strauss only had to transform it into a march...

I dont care what Germans did. All I am saying is that When I hear it, I imagine German armies marching trough Berlin. It has nothing to do with anything real, it is just my personal impression. Not to mention the guy Radetzky was not Austrian but Czech, which I happen to be as well. And He is the only Czech that was written a march.

Austrians are proud of their history. They no longer feel like has been Germans. They are proud Austrians, 600 years of tradition and Empire. The Hapsburgs...defenders of Europe...Germans, have inferiority complex....thus two world wars... Go, Austria!
steveforsane 2 years ago 2
@steveforsane 'Germans' you mean Prussians. Nor are they to blame for two world wars outright don't forget Hitler was an Austrian after all :P Or that Austria's inferiority complex towards Serbia began the chain of events that started WWI, see they are great at 'defending' Europe lol
an inferiority complex never did the germans that much bad either, they were then and stil are the strongest economic power in Europe.

Well, no, Germans...The Austrians rejected Hitler and his wild Jewish hatred. Thus his serving in the German arm forces and his election in Germany. The Austrians would not have elected him for dof-catcher. Yes, Austrians served a role in World History, preventing the overunning of Europe by the Muslem Ottomans and stopping Napoleon from total victory by their dilient opposion to his goals!

Cluck666 Look, why get all bend out of shape???? I was just responsing to a comment which somebody made tomy comment! Yes, This is a wonderful march tune! The Austrians have every right to feel proud of it and their rich traditions!
steveforsane 2 years ago
@steveforsane They didn't reject him at all he just cheated and lied his way out of serving Austria. Austria was one of the most enthusiatic persecutors of various groups it had a long history of intolerance wether they jews, prodestants, slavs or others. Nor did they stop Napoleon, the Russians did that.
Although despite that, you can't help but think a unifyied Germany with Austria at it's head rather than Prussia probably would of been far better for Europe..
WarpedClock 2 years ago
@WarpedClock What are you talking about??? The people of the Austrian monarchy had been one of the most tolerant ever! For example their army: Each regiment was a mix of all kind of kuk-people, no matter if they had been jews, muslim or a kind of christian, nor if they had been czech, kroatian or italian. The officers of that time confirmed a very good comradeship -only the moravians had been a bit conspicuous...-
PS: Austria was the first and only SINGLE country that gave Napoleon a defeat...
bindergogo 2 years ago
@bindergogo yeah the Habsburgs themselves were but the aristocracy and government certainly weren't, why did they consistently avoid practicing religious tolerance? Or the various massacres of the Thirty Years War they were behind?
What are you on about they never won a war on thier own?? Even if they won a few battles alone Vienna fell several times, the HRE got abolished and they haemorraged territory until Russia alone decisively beat the French in 1812.
WarpedClock 2 years ago
*gg* The Thirty Years War was 200 years before... And that war was a very good example for pretending religious reasons but fight for spreading the power of the own dynasty... And EVERY dynasty comitted various massacres.
No, what I was about to say is, that everytime Napoleon was defeated, it was because there had been always two or more allied nations fighting against him on the same battlefield.
Not so at the Battle of Aspern...
bindergogo 2 years ago
what are YOU talking about??? Austrian monarchy was everithing but not tollerant. 1 austrian empire was extended in the balkans, where are muslim, in czech repubblic (actual) where are jews in the ghetto of prague (it's famous) ecc. Then is tollerance send people to die? or they used this as meat for cannon? 2 during the restauration, people of europe were divided as animal (for this reason a lot of revolution were in 1848)

Austria/Germany traditions are alive in Chile.
Radetsky March is the official march of the Chilean Army. (Landgraf March is played in military parades as well)
It is impressive to see the chilean army parading (and playing) this march in goose-step and wearing WWI and WWII german uniforms and helmets. Get into youtube and search "parada militar chile".

Maybe that's why this Radetzky guy was stopped by some Serbian Vojvoda Zivojin Misic.... He was clapping too much.

DoirB: yes, that is tradition for this song, the audience participation. This march is about the local militia going off to war and the townspeople cheering them off... you can hear some nice little melodies in there that sound like a small 'oompa band' to send them off in style :).
