The „Radetzky March“ op. 228 by Johann Strauss Sr. is one of the most well-known and celebrated march compositions. Composed in 1848, this march is distinguished by its powerful melody and festive, invigorating atmosphere. Andreas Simbeni’s arrangement for wind orchestra, designed for flexible instrumentation and percussion, allows even smaller ensembles to perform this piece. The Radetzky March is traditionally the final encore at the New Year’s Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic.
