He was one of the great representatives of light band music, which was cultivated in various styles in the Danube monarchy and especially by military band masters: Julius Fučík (1872-1916). His career was like a "k.u.k." storybook career: Training at the Prague Conservatory, military service in regimental band under famous bandmaster Joseph F. Wagner and Karl Komzák II. Afterwards, for many years regimental bandmaster on IR 86 in Sarajevo and Budapest. There he celebrated the greatest triumphs. Finally, the military finale at the IR 92 in Theresienstadt near Prague. Mid-1913 ended his military service. In Berlin he spent the few years of his remaining life.
Several of Fučík's compositions reveal that he did not necessarily have to be a child of sadness, and so does his elegant and lively march entitled "Heurigenbrüder" (Wine Tavern Brothers), which was created as a manuscript in Prague in 1907. Reminiscent of young new wine, which in many regions of the Danube monarchy was cultivated and sung in innumerable songs.
