Who's behind the notes? Discover Albert John Weidt: The Forgotten Maestro of Weimar Cabaret
Albert John Weidt was an American composer and bandmaster known as the "American March King" for his numerous march compositions. "Breath of Spring" is likely one of his characteristic light concert pieces, possibly a waltz or lyrical composition reflecting the seasonal theme. Though less famous than Sousa, Weidt was prolific in writing accessible music for community bands and amateur musicians in late 19th and early 20th century America.
