Product Description
Julius Fučík (1872 - 1916) was a famous Austrian-Hungarian military bandmaster, who composed more than 400 pieces during his short lifetime. First of all he was known as a king of marches: His "Florentiner March" and "Entry of the Gladiators" had worldwide success, but also some of his overtures and waltzes became very popular. His concert march "Under the Admiral's Flag" was composed in 1911and had its first performance, when the Austrian-Hungarian battleship "Viribus unitis" premiered its launching in the former Austrian military habour of Pula in Istria. This arrangement keeps the key of the symphony orchestra version, while most band arrangements transpose a whole tone lower.
