Persischer Marsch
by Johann Strauss II (1825–1899)
Johann Strauss II
Persischer Marsch (Persian March) Op.289
Johann II wrote several marches requiring special exotic effects – Egyptian, Spanish, Russian and this short Persian March. It’s a characteristically witty pastiche in three sections including a march, a central trio section and a coda recalling the march and taking it to a rousing climax.
