    The Radetzky March was dedicated to the Austrian Field Marshall Joseph Radetzky von Radetz, as Strauss was asked to write a piece for a celebration of Radetsky's victory at the Battle of Custoza. When the piece was first played in front of the Austrian officers, they started to clap their hands and stomp their feet, a tradition that is kept alive to this day when the piece is played in venues in Vienna.
