Programme notes: Colonel Ferdinand Richter: A Life in Service and His Musical Tribute Colonel Ferdinand Richter was a key figure in the Vienna Infantry Regiment Hoch- und Deutschmeister No. 4, where he served as an officer from October 1, 1936, until the annexation of Austria by Germany in March 1938. This period was marked by political upheavals and military challenges, which also had a significant impact on the regiment and its leadership. Richter embodied the tradition and spirit of the famous Vienna Infantry Regiment, known for its discipline, cohesion, and commitment to Austrian history. His dedication and leadership qualities left a lasting impression on his comrades and the military community. Particularly noteworthy is the march composition "Colonel Ferdinand Richter" by Karl Pauspertl, which was dedicated to this officer. Pauspertl, a renowned composer of military marches, created a musical homage with this work that not only honors Richter's personality but also reflects the tradition and pride of the regiment. The march is characterized by its powerful melody and solemn character and is still played today at official occasions and regimental celebrations. The connection between Colonel Ferdinand Richter and the march composition of the same name demonstrates how military leadership and cultural expression are closely intertwined in Austrian history. Richter's work in the Hoch- und Deutschmeister Regiment No. 4 lives on through the music of Karl Pauspertl and recalls a time when military virtues and musical traditions went hand in hand. Thus, Colonel Ferdinand Richter is remembered not only as an officer, but also as a symbol of the connection between military service and cultural heritage – embodied in a march that continues to touch the hearts of Viennese infantrymen and music lovers alike.
