Franz Schubert - Marche militaire op.51 no.1 (D733)

This march is one of Schubert's most famous melodies, and it has been arranged for full orchestra, military bands, and many different combinations of instruments.

It has been quoted in various other works, including Igor Stravinsky's Circus Polka, and even in Walt Disney's animated short Santa's Workshop.

Franz Liszt paraphrased March No. 1 for solo piano as Grand paraphrase de concert, S.426a.

Carl Tausig also wrote a version for solo piano, in D-flat major, which has been recorded by pianists such as Vladimir Horowitz, Evgeny Kissin, Josef Hofmann, György Cziffra, Alicia de Larrocha and Leopold Godowsky.

This march was used as theme music by the Autolite company to promote its products, notably in a 1940 promotional film produced by the Jam Handy organization, famous for its closing sequence, which featured stop motion animation of the products marching past Autolite factories. An abbreviated version of this sequence was later used in television ads for Autolite, especially those on the 1950s CBS program Suspense, which Autolite sponsored.

An arrangement for accordion was played as theme music for BBC Radio 4's 1982 dramatization of A Small Town in Germany by John le Carré.

This march is remixed for the Ricoh 2A03 and used as Drill Man's stage theme in Rockman 4 Minus Infinity.

An excerpt of this song is featured as a background music in 1985 video game Challenger.

The march is used in the GCE Ordinary Level (United Kingdom) for the Listening Comprehension portion of the examination.
