Info

Rudolf Nováček (Novacek) studied violin with Josef Hellmesberger at the Vienna Conservatory and later in Budapest. In 1879 he joined the military band of the 11th Infantry Regiment in Pilsen under the direction of Karl Komzák (Komzak), and he succeeded him as bandmaster in 1882. In 1885 he took over the Infantry Regiment No. 28 in Prague. This band was under the command of Colonel Ludwig Castaldo. In his honor, Rudolf Nováček composed his famous "Castaldo March" in 1890, which is still one of the most popular march compositions for wind orchestras today. Later he worked as a music teacher in Temesvar for several years.

Marsch-Walzer
Karel Belohoubek, the legendary chief conductor of the Central Army Orchestra of the Czech Republic, has wittily implemented the famous Castaldo March by Rudolf Novácek (1860-1929) in this arrangement by letting the trio sound like a waltz in three-four time. This gives the Castaldo March a very special new charm with the addition "Nova".
