Johann Strauss II - Persian March 

Indeed

same

I love that part that feels so persian

love this comment!

Karoo, basically

I love this, you win the trophy

That comment broke me xD

Yes but where are you?

Me too.

Same bro I’m Iranian

But this is turkish song, also it has 13 turkish version.

​@@umutt34 you know adam and eva ? They have been turks too

@@elel2017 no, i don't know

It's a pretty story, pity it's absolute bullshit. Strauss wrote this march in 1864 for his 9th "pavlovian" season in a place near St. Petersburg in Russia where he presented it on July 11th. THEN he smartly dedicated it to the Shah and got a medal for it. The Shah didn't visit Europe until 1873 so he actually heard it 9 years after Alexander the II.

also there were talks of an anti-ottoman treaty cuz both powers hated the turks

@@Lol-ql3gd What some historians tell about the early political relationship between Austria and Iran is if Russia hadn't sabotaged this relationship, It would've been way better for Iran. Russia ripped off Iran and is still doing so

what a beautifull story ! we got both a masterpiece music , and a dungerous country wasn't getting their deadly weapons ! . it's really nice to know the pages in history classical music share

Thats bs

Btw it has nothing to do with Persia except the name

@@aahmadov it was written for the Persian army to march to. It is Strauss' musical interpretation of the Persian army

​@@aahmadov When Nasiruddin Qajar visiting Viana, Straus wrote this classical.

@@fazelansarie Thank you for info, My point here is that the song which this march is based on called "qala dibinde" Almost every single Turcik nation from siberian tundra to the coast of Black sea has variation if this song in their culture, Btw wasn't Qajar family Turckic too?

​​​@@aahmadov Pure pan-Turk poppycock. This piece MAY have drawn _inspiration_ from whatever Turkish song, but it's not _based_ on anything. It draws on clichéd ideas of what the Europeans thought Oriental/Middle Eastern music sounds like. And no, there isn't any magical song that has magically survived throughout millennia among all Turkic speaking peoples by some damn miracle. And what on earth does Qajars being Turkic have to do with anything???

that is very interesting

Cameron Ghajar ofcourse!

Cameron Ghajar yes i am iranian, i read the fact about ruslan and rudmila on an iranian journal from 1968. then i immediately recognized the theme and knew i heard it in strauss' persian march. there exists a copy of this march in iran however it is lost.

Cameron Ghajar no, i'm studying materials science and engineering in Tabriz national university. i've studied piano and composition in a private conservatoire in Vienna. however i am currently studying old medieval texts about middle eastern music. i'm very interested in ancient greek and ancient indian musics. i'm learning the Oud and am reading whatever book/article i can get my hands on on my favorite subjects. i'm also interested in history and linguistics and poetry because of my researchs in music. i hope to achieve enough knowledge to understand the process of evolution of music since the dawn of civilization until today. nice to meet you.

Cameron Ghajar well, you're so kind. can i have your email address?

oh nice, 13 y.o. Karl’s comment

It's way too dank for the ears

I wish I could visit Iran. I am a huge huge history nerd and Iran just has so much! Since this stupid Coronavirus pandemic occurred, everything shut down+ they probably wouldn’t let me in because I was born in the US.

you had some great things going before the arabs came

+NaziSled life*

NaziSled Persia has already gone haha :))) greetings from a Tajik-Afghan

@@mediummark2258 The only one gone is your brain greetings from a persian my persian brother ❤

Medium Mark You think so? It’s not your call to say. Afghans and Tajiks are only Persian speaking while the real Persians are in Iran and I’m telling you my friend we’re not dead yet “from the ashes the old civilization will rise”

@@stelisteluta2289 no, live

+Brian Boyer yo tmb :D

+Juan Carlos lozano 😊

My dear Khosro, no matter which one you may call it, but its matter both names shows our heritage and dignity and me myself considering to be a Persian just because of fuckin hell damn mollahs which are in Iran today but soon we will make great again IRAN soon. #JavidShah

@Radu Ioan Păcurar i'm gonna ruin it, muahaha.

You’d be correct, this was originally commissioned for the Qajar shah by the Austrians.

Gracias me gusta saber cosas de Straus 💋

acabas de demostrar tu ignorancia sobre la naturaleza de Persia

Que sepamos la antigua PERSIA milenaria comprende los actuales países islámicos Irán Irak Mesopotamia y Babilonia

Не ври баран

he wasnt turk....he had some turkic origins, he also had some persian origins and his culture was fully persianised. the qajars claimed to be the successors of the acheamenid empire, so did the safavids. turks have great culture and history, why do they try so hard to steal eberyone elses on the basis of ethnicity? he spoke farsi, not azeri or turkish. that should be enough.

It's coming brother, closer everyday.

from the ashes the old civilizations will rise. We’re not dead yet we will take back our country again.

You guys are so stupid. Conservative and stupid. Down with the shah! Down with the iamic republic!!!!!!!! We need a new socialist or at least liberal state!

@@ShinyLP Get the fuck off with your socialist bullshit, you'll never learn I guess. I don't want a socialist Iran - you don't take away the peoples freedom to then strip them of food and everything of the free world later. Get your ass down to Venezuela and watch your socialist dream unfold. By the way... the shah was more liberal than the western world in the 1970s... the womens skirts were shorter than those of US and French women and the shah was removed by religious scumbags because he wanted to liberalize Iran even more and even let women vote. You almost had your liberal Iran, boy.

@@ShinyLP Socialist republic UGHHH Liberal republic UGHH Semi-Authority works the best Brained washed socialist
