@Ballerfella2007 You mean you wouldn't have ever discovered Schubert if it wasn't for college? Didn't you like music before going to college? Most people like music. And it's good to experiment with new things, including music: if you do, then you, as a rule, discover new things that make your life more exciting and diverse.
@xXvolhvXx Very true, I knew and liked all of these great musicians since age 7. But actually learning in theory, which I found very interesting of the composers. I listen to them more while in college and now after college I am glad I learned more about them that’s all. .
I love this piece. Fell in love with it ever since hearing it in Brando's 'The Men'. Why don't they make music like this today..? I heart classical music :-)
Back in the early 1950s there were a lot of classical music recordings used for everything from movies to television show theme music to commercial ads. I suppose because so many were in the public domain and therefore cheap to use. But I love it; I wish more shows these days focused on classical.

@Bastiii1990 A rather odd Swedish holiday tradition is to watch a sort of Disney Christmas special with a lot of shorts and scenes from different films being presented as postcards.
The short is named "Santa's Workshop" if you want to find it.
As to why we watch it? Probably a tradition from back when that show was one of the few cartoons shown on TV.
The two most important parts of a Swedish Christmas are the ham and Donald Duck on TV. It might be the most watched show in Swedish TV history.
@oenijo03 well actually its not played during donald duck but in "Santa's Workshop" from 1932 thats played together with a clip from donald duck's "Clown of the Jungle" in an old disney preview compilation that's on the air every christmas.
@oenijo03 There is a disney movie featuring this song, and a feature of this movie with donald duck as a protagonist fending off his pesky nephews. Its great, I remember this movie fondly,
@oenijo03 I too can attest to the story's veracity; I have been living in Sweden for many years and I still somewhat find myself baffled and at the same time amused by my friends all humming along to Schubert while Santa packs his big bag with toys in some Disney cartoon from the 30s. And this is what seems to pass for the very essence of Christmas in Sweden. I love my adopted homeland.
I played this piece (the version for solo player) when I made my concert debut in 1965, and practiced so hard and so long to make sure I got it right. My pants were falling down when I walked up the stairs to the stage and the crowd laughed at me, but I sat down, got out the music, and played the piece with no mistakes ! And I got a standing ovation. It is hard, but a worthy piece for an aspiring pianist. And I'm glad I worked so hard and did so well and am glad of it to this day.
@borgoat21 perhaps in a disney video? I remember one in Santa's shop, where this song played as the toys were being made. The greatest part was the dolls as all said ma-ma when they came out of the machine and Santa inspected them, except a black one that came out and shouted MAHMAH! lol XD

One must consider, before jumping to sanctimonious judgments, that war wasn't viewed as the horrible devastation as we know it today. There was this policy during the 18th century (to which almost all rulers subscribed) that you should make war in such a way that the people barely notice there's a war on. During the early 19th century, many still considered that to be valid, and that the Napoleonic Wars were an unfortunate exception.
Soldiering was considered a profession like any other, and it played an important role in society and economy. Garrisons not only consumed goods, but also served as manufactories and trading centres (soldiers mass-produced mostly clothing and shoes when they weren't on campaign).
On top of that, many of the influential noblemen were also officers. It was therefore quite prestigious to be or associate with an officer.
Had a Boston Pops recording of March Militaire on an old Victor 78 when I was a kid. Played it over and over and over. Thanks for the memory and for sharing this wonderful music.
Yes, music like this should have many more views........It's irritating to see trash like "rap and "hip hop" with a million views and good music languishes, largely unheard. Incidentally you've posted very good music which I appreciate, TheWickedNorth.
no i agree it is, however this is probably a relatively historic tempo, written as a military march it was made at an agreeable tempo for regiments to parade in, and seeing how most European nations use a goosewalk or similar march that progresses at a slower tempo than the american knee-height march this slower tempo would have been rather necissary
there's quite a difference between making actual wars and composing music about war is'nt there? i'd much rather have people write music about anger and agression than act upon theire agressive impulses.
Franz Joseph I (if you mean him) was born 2 years after Schubert died.
There was a Joseph II, but he died 7 years before Schubert was born.
During Schubert's lifetime, Austria was ruled by Franz II, who after 1804 called himself Franz I. He was a rather mediocre emperor, and not very popular with his people.
@wdabrilvi Just two plain simple characters with some dots is all I've got to say to you:
F... y..
You can fill in the gaps.
It's plain ignorant and discriminating to think that only illuminati (who are against the church btw...) and Christians should have the right to listen to this music. I don't believe in a god, but I love this music. If only you learned to open your eyes....
@ImMortallityMartin mejor te respondo en mi idioma nativo, eres un completo imbecil, aprende a leer pedazo de animal... lo que quise decir es que la musica como esta no es para cualquier bestia ni animal de monte como voz....
Incluso mas bien deberian prohibirla a la gente mediocre que ni leer sabe.
@wdabrilvi Besides, you don't know the least bit of me, so you can't tell I'm mediocre, nor anything else about me. To assume you're better than me in anyway only tells me you could use some lessons in being humble and having respect for your brethren; something I think SHOULD be kept high by someone who claims to be "enlightened" or "blessed by God".
I've seen people, both Christians and non-Christians, who deserve those titles more than you.
@wdabrilvi First off, I'm an animal indeed, just like you and all other humans. To have the slightest feeling of being elevated above nature is as ignorant as it is selfish.
I read very well what you wrote and yes, I know I used the wrong form of illuminated (illuminati), since it means exactly the same and illuminated is a wrong choice of words in my opinion.
I know how to read and write very well, I even read your post completely, but since I can't answer in Spanish, I decided to use English.
Bloody pacifists. They always seem to ignore the fact that even in violence, there is skill. Skill in anything, no matter what it is, is an artform. Violence is human. Otherwise, non-violence would be the norm for all societies. Oddly, for every pacifist society, there exist thousands of warring societies, and ALL those pacifists lived under the protection of warring societies. Survival cannot be achieved by flight alone. Once in a while, you got to use force. Inhuman? Seems totally human to me!
Sorry, but I am not a pacifist. Violence can be legitimate, yet the wars in the period in which this march was written had nothing to do with survival, the only justified case of violence. They where only for the personal glory of an insane ruler, and occasionally religion was thrown in too.
Besides, war cannot be an art. Art is self-expression through creative impulses. War isn't personal, nor is it creative. Some cultures thought it was (Aztecs for example), but it has never been in Europe.
That is a very pacifistic perspective, to say that personal survival is the only justified form of violence. The armies of the 19th century fought for personal survival. The military was a living and armies secured economic resources that allowed their families and the nations they supported to flourish. Those who die lose everything but those who live often gain in the LONG TERM. Violence can get things done. The hard part is maniplulating things such that one gains, not loses, in the end.
War is aweful. You can it humanistic. You should look up the word humanistic. It IS inhuman. You don't look at a war and say "how beautiful" or "well, that's natual" if you feel no hard/sad feelings about war, cruelty and brutality you are inhuman. Humen are one of the only kind who cares for others - love is human - war and brutality is just a reaction when we face something we cannot handle rationally.
Great piece! I especially like Andre Rieu's version.

@vuk1973july There never was a Franz Joseph II.
Franz Joseph I (if you mean him) was born 2 years after Schubert died.
There was a Joseph II, but he died 7 years before Schubert was born.
During Schubert's lifetime, Austria was ruled by Franz II, who after 1804 called himself Franz I. He was a rather mediocre emperor, and not very popular with his people.

@spiderlime I believe this was composed having in mind the pride of belonging to the army or the cavalry, not about anger or war.

@wdabrilvi Just two plain simple characters with some dots is all I've got to say to you:
F... y..
You can fill in the gaps.
It's plain ignorant and discriminating to think that only illuminati (who are against the church btw...) and Christians should have the right to listen to this music. I don't believe in a god, but I love this music. If only you learned to open your eyes....

@wdabrilvi Besides, you don't know the least bit of me, so you can't tell I'm mediocre, nor anything else about me. To assume you're better than me in anyway only tells me you could use some lessons in being humble and having respect for your brethren; something I think SHOULD be kept high by someone who claims to be "enlightened" or "blessed by God".
I've seen people, both Christians and non-Christians, who deserve those titles more than you.
Beside all this, I wish you have a good day.

@wdabrilvi First off, I'm an animal indeed, just like you and all other humans. To have the slightest feeling of being elevated above nature is as ignorant as it is selfish.
I read very well what you wrote and yes, I know I used the wrong form of illuminated (illuminati), since it means exactly the same and illuminated is a wrong choice of words in my opinion.
I know how to read and write very well, I even read your post completely, but since I can't answer in Spanish, I decided to use English.

At that time, even war was an art. Today it is just a technological matter.

Absolutely. Battles that left thousands dead and even more people wounded without any medical attention are a work of art...
Sorry, but military marches are a celebration of an inhuman meatgrinder that slaughters the innocent and spares the corrupted.
That said, it is an amazing piece of musicc!

Bloody pacifists. They always seem to ignore the fact that even in violence, there is skill. Skill in anything, no matter what it is, is an artform. Violence is human. Otherwise, non-violence would be the norm for all societies. Oddly, for every pacifist society, there exist thousands of warring societies, and ALL those pacifists lived under the protection of warring societies. Survival cannot be achieved by flight alone. Once in a while, you got to use force. Inhuman? Seems totally human to me!

Sorry, but I am not a pacifist. Violence can be legitimate, yet the wars in the period in which this march was written had nothing to do with survival, the only justified case of violence. They where only for the personal glory of an insane ruler, and occasionally religion was thrown in too.
Besides, war cannot be an art. Art is self-expression through creative impulses. War isn't personal, nor is it creative. Some cultures thought it was (Aztecs for example), but it has never been in Europe.
wddude 2 years ago
That is a very pacifistic perspective, to say that personal survival is the only justified form of violence. The armies of the 19th century fought for personal survival. The military was a living and armies secured economic resources that allowed their families and the nations they supported to flourish. Those who die lose everything but those who live often gain in the LONG TERM. Violence can get things done. The hard part is maniplulating things such that one gains, not loses, in the end.

War is aweful. You can it humanistic. You should look up the word humanistic. It IS inhuman. You don't look at a war and say "how beautiful" or "well, that's natual" if you feel no hard/sad feelings about war, cruelty and brutality you are inhuman. Humen are one of the only kind who cares for others - love is human - war and brutality is just a reaction when we face something we cannot handle rationally.
