Description
In a short lifespan of less than 32 years, Schubert was a prolific composer, writing some 600 Lieder, nine symphonies (including the famous “Unfinished Symphony”), liturgical music, operas, some incidental music and a large body of chamber and solo piano music. Appreciation of Schubert’s music during his lifetime was limited, but interest in his work increased significantly in the decades following his death.
Adapted by J. Dietrich from Schubert’s original four-hands March Militaire, this is a witty and quirky piece, depicting a less solemn and more festive type of military march.
