A March for March



     A recent discovery of mine has been Franz Schubert's Marche Militaire Op. 51/1. Franz Schubert was another one of the most influential and brilliant composers in the classical genre. His compositions ranged from sacred music, operas, chamber music, solo works, and symphonies. This piece Marche Militaire Op. 51 No.1  is certainly one of his most majestic and well-known works.  Many composers would quote certain snippets from this composition to use within their own. I certainly believe this piece epitomizes the very grandiose and stately character of the aristocrats and noble's lifestyle during the 18th century.

I certainly recommend putting this monumental composition on your study time playlist. I believe the joyous melodies and noble character of the piece help to deliver motivation and inspiration.

Hope you enjoy it!

  1. I have never heard of this guy, but I agree with you. I think it is a great piece especially about it being representative of the wealthy lifestyle and being good for studying. I will definitely try it out!
