Brno National Guard March

The Brno National Guard March is a march by Johann Strauss Sohn (op. 58). The work was performed for the first time on August 15, 1848 in Brno .

Remarks

The title of this march has been used twice by the Strauss family. First, Johann Strauss (father) composed a march with this title (op. 231). This work was performed on the occasion of a visit by the Brno National Guard to Vienna on July 30, 1848. In return, the younger Johann Strauss traveled with a delegation of the National Guard from Vienna to Brno, where he now performed his march of the same name as a symbol of solidarity between Vienna and Brno. Both Strauss father and Strauss son wrote a march with the same title in the summer of 1848. Historically, these events took place against the backdrop of the revolution of 1848 .

The playing time on the CD listed under individual records is 2 minutes and 41 seconds. This time can vary somewhat depending on the conductor's musical conception.
