Kaiser-Jäger-March

The Kaiser-Jäger-March is a march by Johann Strauss Sohn (op. 93). The work was performed for the first time on July 7, 1851 in Dengler's beer hall in Fünfhaus in Vienna.

Remarks

The reason why this march was composed is unknown. The Tiroler Kaiser-Jäger , a regiment popular in Austria, were not stationed in Vienna at the time, and the regiment was not planned to appear in the capital. Only since 1895 had one of four regiments of the Kaiserjäger had its headquarters there. Nevertheless, Strauss wrote this march, which he dedicated to these Kaiserjäger . Many more marches have been composed under this title over the decades. One of them, written by Kaiserjäger Kapellmeister Karl Mühlberger, achieved worldwide fame in military music. In contrast, the march created by Johann Strauss was gradually forgotten.

The playing time on the CD listed under individual records is 2 minutes and 12 seconds. This time can vary somewhat depending on the conductor's musical conception.
