It has been noted that its tone is more celebratory than martial; Strauss was commissioned to write the piece to commemorate Radetzky's victory at the Battle of Custoza. Strauss had already used the theme in The Radetzky March Jubel-QuadrilleOp. When Radetzky came back to The Radetzky March after winning the battle of Custozahis soldiers were singing the then-popular song. Today, the theme is used in numerous promotional jingles and at major sport events, in particular at football matches of the Austrian national team. When The Radetzky March was first played in front of Austrian officers, they spontaneously clapped and stamped their feet when they heard the chorus. This tradition, with quiet rhythmic clapping on the first iteration of the melody, followed by thunderous clapping on the second, is often observed when the march is played in classical music venues in an orchestral version prepared by Leopold Weninger — Jeroen H.
