📖 Synopsis

In 1892, the magazine "Alt-Wien" published a report on the first performance of the then already world-famous "Radetzky March" by Johann Strauss the Elder "from the memories of an old court official". In this undoubtedly authentic description by a contemporary, it was said, among other things:
"Inspired by Radetzky's victories in rapid succession, Franz Grillparzer published his famous poem:
'Good luck, my general, lead the blow! Not just for the glimmer of fame,
In your camp is Austria.'

A short time later, the first public performance of the later famous 'Radetzky March' by Johann Strauss Sr. took place. On August 31, 1848, a special concert was held on the water glacis in front of the Karolinentor in Vienna, at the end of which the 'Radetzky March' was heard for the first time.

'It was met with thunderous applause and had to be played three times; the jovial, exultant, genuinely Viennese theme in the trio was particularly popular.' (Note: This topic was the so-called "Tinerl song", which was often sung in the Viennese suburbs at the time and was very popular.)

Text: Prof. Franz Mailer
