Notes

---

Performed by an unidentified military band. This could simply be a Columbia studio band (a.k.a. Columbia Band) led by Columbia's musical director, Charles Adams Prince.

The "Turner-Marsch" [= Gymnasts' March] is op. 119 of Czech composer Jan a.k.a. Johann Pehel (1852 Husinec-1926 Prague), written in 1898. Pehel was one of the leading military band directors in the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire and president of the Military Band Directors' Association. In the early 1880s, he led the band of the Sokol [Czech sport's club] in Choceň. The German equivalent of a Sokol is a Turnverein [German gymnastics club] (in fact, the first Sokol was inspired by the German Turnverein movement, founded in 1811 by Friedrich Jahn).  Many Turners promoted a unified, democratic Germany in the 1848 German revolution, and when it failed, they emigrated to the United States and brought their sport with them.
