Conzert March by Julius Fučik
ca.: 5:25 Min.
Grade 3-4
Arr.: Achim Graf, Peter WelteGrande Marcia Italiana Julius Ernest Wilhelm Fučík (born July 18, 1872 in Prague, died September 15, 1916 in Berlin) was a Czech composer and conductor from Austria-Hungary.
The "Florentine March", founded in 1907, is the most famous of Fučik's marches, next to the "Entry of the Gladiators" (1899). His diary entries show that the piece was completed as "La Rosa di Toscana" on 03.12.1907. The reason why he renamed it in the "Florentine march" on 6 January of the following year is not certain.
The staging of the absolute musical climax towards the end of the composition, the triumphal repetition of the main theme after a tension-laden interlude, Fučik's "Grande marcia italiana, op. 214", harmoniously and formally, lead to the limits of what is possible in military music.
After his early death at the age of 44, Fučík left more than 400 compositions, including a Mass and a Requiem.
