Dessauer Marsch

The Dessauer Marsch ( Armeemarsch I, 1b) is a slow military march.

It is believed that he is originally from Italy. Leopold I of Anhalt -Dessau said to have been played after the Battle of Cassano ( 1705) the melody of a popular song, which pleased him so much that he wanted to hear it constantly. Already during the Battle of Turin ( 1706), the march should have been played on his entry into the city. The Dessauer is characterized by sophisticated trumpet solos. Until the First World War he was the Präsentiermarsch Infantry Regiment Prince Leopold of Anhalt- Dessau No. 26
