As someone who doesn’t know the name of this song I can confirm this is true

[Sunshine-hzho]

She wasn't staring at the camera, she was staring deep in our souls to figure out which songs we didn't know.

[Nicole-pmvm]

True. Everyone forgets the name and later remembers it. While some don't know the name but knows the song.

Entrance of the Clowns. adapted by David Tobin, Jeff Meegan & Rob Kelly. This is the middle part of Fucik's Entrance of the Gladiators. The part she plays and is thus referring to isn't the whole piece but the circus music the adapted part was arranged for. Thus Entrance of the Clowns.

If anyone is still stumped on the title of this piece, it's called "Entrance of the Gladiators" by Czech composer Julius Fucik.

when the kazoo came in, it really made me tear up. Such an emotional piece.

[SquirrelMonkeyCom]

"Entrance of the Gladiators" aka "Circus theme". I always forget the name of the composer though.

[star.shtt]

when i first heard the music, i was moved. when you added the kazoo, it brought me to tears. when i saw the picture of cheese slices, i was done. this was the most magnificent masterpiece i’ve ever seen.

The history regarding that piece is quite funny! So for those who don't know, it's called Entry of the Gladiators. It was composed by Julius Fučík and was originally called Grande Marche Chromatique (before changing it to Entry of the Gladiators because of his interest in the description of the gladiators in the novel Quo Vadis). It was created as a new military march during his time as bandmaster in the Austro-Hungarian Army to show the might of the Austro-Hungarians....the Empire dissolved as the result of its humiliating defeat in WWI and the march is now associated with the circus. The irony is strong with this one. Julius left a piece that has stood the test of time...just not the kind of legacy that he was hoping for. If American politics had a theme, it would definitely be this one.

"Entrance of the Gladiators" aka "Thunder & Blazes March" by Julius Fucik. A really wonderful (and challenging, for an orchestra) piece. I'm not sure why it's so indelibly associated with circuses, unless it's just that they found its complexity made for great ballyhoo in the parade that usually announced a circus' arrival. Sampled in I-can't-count-how-many songs; Three Dog Night's "The Show Must Go On" modified it slightly and used that very well, I think. Edit: Yes, it was rewritten for a smaller band by another composer as a "screamer, " a fast circus march, a few years later under a new title.

Edit: YT user The Wicked North's post of "Entrance of the Gladiators" shows just how beautiful and majestic this piece is when not played at the breakneck speed that's common now!

The fact that the video doesn't say what the name of the song is makes this 10 times better
Edit: a thousand billion people pointed out the name of the song to me, you don't need to tell me

[Ice_coffee_addict_]

I was already overwhelmed by the melody but then the kazoo came in and brought me to tears... Truly a masterpiece 👏

[Deffer]

Ag yes one minute ad for thirty three second content. Worth it 👍

[The_silliestgoose-go]

It is called entry of the gladiators, it was a music piece I was working on but never finished

[wacky.racoon]

This is a masterpiece. How does she move so quickly and gracefully with her entire body across the piano ?

[pacojuggles]

As someone who has ridden a unicycle for the past 30 years, I've heard that song countless times. Everyone thinks they're so clever for humming it when I ride past. I'm very familiar with it and its name.

[eldorfthe_wise]

I listen to the classical station in Miami Florida.

"Entrance of the Gladiators" op. 68 or "Entry of the Gladiators" is a military march composed in 1897 by the Czech composer Julius Fučík.

Sometimes helps to listen to radio stations other than standard rock & roll.

[bsgfan]

I learned Entry of the Gladiators in band years ago. Of course, none of us recognized the name when the director passed out the sheet music. But when we practiced it, literally every stopped playing in a collective “oh shit” moment 🤣

[Bellzi_]

The fact she can make a straight face without laughing while making this masterpiece is just fantastic
