PIANO DUETS, interpreted by CECIL DIXON and V. HELY HUTCHINSON
Second Military March; Hungarian March; Third Military March
WHILE staying at the Hungarian country house of his friend and patron, Count
Esterhazy, Schubert heard many popular tunes of the countryside, played or sung by gypsies, or by the Count's servants, and those airs he noted down, using some of them in a Hungarian Divertissement, from which this Hungarian March is taken. Traces of these peasant-tunes are to be found in many other of his pieces-in the Musical Moments, the Impromptus, and elsewhere.
The Military Marches have been re-arranged for all sorts of instrumental combinations. They have just the right military carriage.
