Peter Mitterhofer Jubiläumsmarsch
The „Peter Mitterhofer Jubiläumsmarsch“ (Peter Mitterhofer Anniversary March) by Christoph Österreicher is a concert march for wind orchestra celebrating the life and inventive spirit of Peter Mitterhofer. The work musically portrays his journey from humble beginnings to his trips to Vienna, where he presented his invention to Emperor Franz Joseph I.
A particularly original feature appears in the trio section: the musical “keystrokes” correspond exactly to the number of strokes needed to type “Peter Mitterhofer.” Commissioned for the 200th anniversary of Mitterhofer’s birth, the work was premiered on September 20, 2022, by the Musikkapelle Partschins.
