Johann Strauss I- Radetzky March Op. 228

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, and became quite a popular march among soldiers.

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. It is almost always played as the last piece of music at the Neujahrskonzert, the Vienna New Year Concert.

Despite its military nature, its tone is rather festive than martial, in accordance with its dedicatee's exuberant personality and popularity in the ballroom as well as the battlefield. It is usually played in under three minutes.

@lekkermary That would be lots of fun--provided that the nightclub also has 21st-century restrooms. Don't want to get TOO era-appropriate...

I'm a sucker for Viennese music. Is this Willi Boskovsky conducting? He was so cool, just loved the guy when I saw him on New Year's Day from Vienna.

Anyway, thanks for posting, this is a favorite!
