Florentiner Marsch [Austrian march]

Julius Fucík's undoubtedly most famous and probably most beautiful march bears the title "Florentine March". He is his Opus 214. From his diary entries we know that the piece was completed on 03.12.1907 as "La Rosa di Toscana". Why he renamed it "Florentine March" on January 6 of the following year is not certain. But probably his publisher had a say in the matter and it is conceivable that political considerations played a role here as well. However, the "Florentine March" is an ideal model for Fucík's special march art. Both in the version for symphonic orchestra and especially in the wind music edition, the composition became one of the most played marches anywhere in the world.

My great-great-grandfather was Czech and fought for Austria-Hungary in World War I, was captured in Russia and because of the revolution he was not released and could not return, now I am Russian)

This is probably the best March ever written, it manages to have the bold sound and strict tempo of a march, while also including a majestic and symphonic wind part. 2nd place goes to Fehrbelliner Reitermarsch.

Just one word: "Perfection"

This song is just perfect. Or, as one other commenter said, "Just one word: "Perfection"" which is very accurate.

This march is unique its form in multiple ways - firstly with the extended 16-bar introduction that has an extended pause following the loud solo bass drum. The 32-bar first strain is repeated for the third time following the pompous second strain with a countermelody by the glockenspiel and ventures into a new ending in the final 8 bars. Then the repeated trio has a bassoon (??) countermelody followed by a new fourth strain, repeated with a trumpet countermelody before the breakstrain which concludes with a ritardando preparing for the final reprise of the trio, what must be one of the most exciting grandiosos written - the piccolo countermelody, cymbal crashes, and of course crescendoing to the 24 fortes before the unique "double stinger" at the end.
