Additional info/contents	The "Spanish March" was composed for a concert tour through Spain that the composer had planned, but it was cancelled. Strauss, who did not like long journeys, decided not to make the long journey and instead sent his musical greetings to Madrid. As a "reward", María Cristina awarded the composer the Grand Cross of the Order of Isabella. The work was premiered in Vienna on October 21, 1888 under the direction of his brother, Eduard Strauss. It is a long, dramatic and artfully crafted march that has a typically "Spanish" feel to its melody and design, although the themes all come from Strauss himself. After a dignified introductory fanfare, small formal sections alternate, which on the one hand have a folkloristic, dance-like character and on the other hand have a yearning, elegiac character. The "Spanish" coloring is evident, among other things, through the use of the Spanish "national instrument", the castanets. The march is often performed at the Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's Concert.
