Very famous Swiss Song with 10 variations for flute solo
According to tradition, the Swiss Thomas Legler, then
Grenadier Lieutenant in French service, began this song at dawn on November 28,
1812 with his comrades just before the Battle of Beresina broke out. This song
later became a public good under the name "Beresinalied".

The Beresinalied still commemorates the battle that
took place 200 years ago at the Beresina in what is now Belarus. In November
1812, four Swiss regiments, which had to move to Russia with Napoleon, made a
decisive contribution to covering the retreat of the defeated army across the
Beresina river. Of the originally 9,000 Swiss, only about 350 came back alive.
Napoleon's Russian campaign, the last battle of which was at the Beresina, was
the largest, unprecedented human-made disaster at the time.
