Radetzky-Marsch, Op. 228 is a march by Johann Strauss Sr., the Austrian composer conventionally called Johann Strauss I to distinguish him from his son Johann Strauss II. It was composed in 1848 and named for Field Marshal Joseph Radetzky von Radetz. The march commemorates the Austrian field marshal and became a lasting part of Viennese musical life. Its use as the New Year's Concert finale is a later convention. The selected catalog item is a community piano arrangement. Strauss's march was written for orchestra, so the keyboard reduction's texture, key, and difficulty belong to the arrangement rather than to the original scoring.
