This edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion features original classical wind-band hunting music from the 1700s and 20th century movie music composed by John Williams. This edition opens with two German military marches. As required by a 1817 decree of Prussian King Fredrich Wilhelm, the Prussian Army adopted a list of official marches to be played at military ceremonies. This practice continued when the German Empire was formed and continues to this day. There have been three different editions of the list of official marches. The first is a parade march from the first list and was written by the military musician Julius Mollendorf. The second is also a parade march written by Princess Princess Charlotte of Saxe-Meiningen and can be found on all three lists.

Not very much information is available about this composer, who is identified as Czech. This composition, however, was popular, perhaps because it was used to accompany scenes in silent movies. In fact, the information about his year of birth and year of death was obtained from a folio of music for silent movies.
