About this march: “Radetzky March“ is a march composed by Johann Strauss Sr. and dedicated to Field Marshal Joseph Radetzky von Radetz. About the composer: Johann Baptist Strauss I (1804 - 1849) was an Austrian composer of the Romantic Period. He was famous for his light music, namely waltzes, polkas, and galops. Some notes about the video: This military march has been performed since its creation, it was originally created to commemorate a victory by Marshal Joseph Radetzky, but later it was used as a regular march of Austria or Austria Hungary. Not only before the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, but also after that compromise. That's why you can see pictures or scenes related to the Austrian empire (1804) and also the Austro Hungarian empire. Credits: Some of the footage displayed is from the series “WW1 in Color“.
