What is the last tune of Vienna Golden Hall every year?
You mean the last finale of the annual Vienna New Year Concert, which is Johann Strauss I's "March of Radzky". This song has a background: Radzky was lord protector and commander-in-chief of the army in Austria at that time. He was well-trained in military training, and led the army to make great achievements many times in the Great Patriotic War of Austria, but in his later years, he was like Napoleon. He became an aggressor obsessed with force-led his army to invade Italy in 1847, and rudely intervened in the patriotic armed uprising movement held in Italy to reunify the motherland at that time, killing the leader of the movement at that time, just 22-year-old Godfrey Mameli (who was the lyricist of the Italian national anthem), and then served as governor there for many years, turning some areas in southern Italy into his sphere of influence. Therefore, he has also become a double-faced and controversial figure. For the Austrian people, he is an honorable hero, while for the Italians, he is a hateful aggressor. Johann Strauss II insisted on writing this March for this person regardless of controversy and opposition. At the beginning of the performance, most of the audience were in the aforementioned reasons, and most of them did not attend the performance of Johann Strauss I's music. Italians even had a bad relationship with Austria for this reason. Later, it was just that people gradually felt that this vigorous and powerful March song had a beautiful melody, which was suitable for expressing the heroic spirit of courage, fearlessness and patriotism, so they played down the unpleasant political background and gradually accepted this work from the perspective of musical factors. Today, it has become the finale of celebratory concerts such as Vienna New Year Concert and the background music used in many ceremonial activities such as award ceremonies.
