Description
Composed in 1818, this march in E major matches its bright key with a radiant, buoyant sound and a steady, regular pulse. It is one of the more compact examples among Schubert's many marches, lasting around four and a half minutes.
Marches defined by their strong, steady rhythm, spanning from Bach's keyboard works to Sousa's popular American marches.
About the Composer
Franz Schubert (1797-1828)
Franz Schubert was a Vienna-born composer who died at only 31 but left behind a vast body of work, especially in the field of Lieder. Known for his gift for melody and subtle modulation, songs such as "Erlkonig" remain widely performed today. His piano works, including the Impromptus, are equally rich in lyricism. This site includes 120 of his works, such as Impromptus, "Erlkonig," and the "Hungarian Melody."
