Entry of the Gladiators
Marsch / March / Marche op. 68

The world-famous march composer Julius Fucík was born in Prague in 1872. His best-known work is undoubtedly the triumphal march “Einzug der Gladiatoren” (Entry   of the Gladiators, op. 68). The piece was written in 1899 in Sarajevo, where Fucík served as military bandmaster of the Austro-Hungarian army. A few years later, the march made its way to the USA. There, however, it was played much faster, which made it the flagship of the "circus march" genre. To this day, there are only a few melodies that are so reminiscent of the circus atmosphere and symbolically remind the listener of the "Entry of the Gladiators".
