“RADETZKY MARSS” Roth, Joseph (nr 967)

The novel (1932) by the Austrian prose writer and publicist Joseph Roth (1894-1939) gives a picture of life in Austria in the years before the First World War and the end of the old monarchy through three generations of the von Trotta family, alternately with flashbacks to the past. If the piece of music symbolizes the centuries-long glory of this monarchy, the “Radetzky March” also runs through the life of the main character, the young von Trotta, as a leitmotif.
