This piece of music has a little-known background: this piece of music was originally presented by Johann Strauss I to General Radeski, but in essence, Radeski was an iron-fisted man who brutally suppressed the people's uprising in neighboring countries, so it can be said that he was a reactionary warlord. Later, even Strauss himself and his son Johann Strauss II didn't want to play this March again.
This piece of music consists of two contrasting parts. The powerful introduction is followed by the first part of the theme, as if a group of infantry were seen walking briskly through the street.

The music finally ended after repeating the theme of the first part.

First of all, the woodwind instrument was played weakly, and then the brass instrument based on trombone was played strongly. Then, the music entered a flat major, and the second theme was smooth and cheerful, played by woodwind instruments. After the gorgeous trombone transition, the music entered the second theme for the second time, playing piccolo as decoration. When the music entered the second theme for the third time, the mood was full and high, and the trombone counterpoint melody sounded in the bass part, which overlapped with the melody played by the first theme and piccolo, reached a climax and ended in an unusually warm mood.
abstract
Originally, it was queue music used in the army to keep pace, enhance military prestige and boost morale, and its origin can be traced back to the battle songs of16th century. It is characterized by regular tunes, distinct rhythms and little notes. The structure of the early March was very short, regardless of the beat. For example, J.-B. Luli's ensemble March, played by oboe and drum team, is a three-beat two-section, with two repetitions, only 14 bar. Modern marches are all written in complex trilogy, including double beats or four beats (4/4, 4/2, 2/2, 6/8, etc. ), and the three-beat March is a minority (for example, R. Schumann's "March of David Allies Attacking Ordinary People"). In addition to instrumental works, marches in songs are also common. La Marseillaise is the most famous vocal March during the French bourgeois revolution. Revolutionary songs in various historical periods in modern China, such as the unity songs of workers, peasants and soldiers, the eight notices of three disciplines, the march of the volunteers of the People's Liberation Army, the battle March, the battle songs of the volunteers, and the Liege of female soldiers, are all March songs. The use of modern marching is expanding day by day. In addition to military parades, there are weddings, funerals, celebrations and art appreciation parades. There are two kinds of wedding marches: one is to express the festive atmosphere quickly, such as the wedding marches in Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream; A kind of music used in slow wedding parades, such as the wedding parade music in the second act and the wedding chorus in the third act of R Wagner's opera lohengrin. Funeral marches are slow-paced, mostly written in small tunes, and also in large tunes in the early days, such as the March of Death in G.F. Handel's oratorio Sol. L.van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No.12 in A major, the funeral March to commemorate the death of a hero (later used for the music of Plochashka), the second movement of the third symphony, and the third movement of f F Chopin's Piano Sonata in B major are all typical works of funeral March. The funeral March of the third movement of G Mahler's First Symphony is based on the French folk song "York Brothers". Mahler developed this theme by using cannon technology and composed 1 a simulated funeral March.
