Marche militaire

Franz Schubert

In D major, range A1 to C♯4

A regiment marches through the town square on a bright morning, drums and trumpets in step, until the band turns gentle in the middle and the crowd sways along before the march comes back. Schubert wrote it for piano four hands, two players at one keyboard, and it was published in Vienna in 1826; the piano part is Schubert’s own lower part from that original.
