Berlioz wrote the Hungarian March in 1846, which he later in the year included in his large work, The Damnation of Faust. The march was written on the advice of those Berlioz had told how the Hungarian public would be extremely charmed by a piece from their own culture appearing in concerts Berlioz had to arrange for concerts their later in the year. Berlioz chose the Rakoczi march as the main theme for his Hungarian Match. The tip was a good one, as both the concert and march were a great success.
