battlefield.PART ONE Prussia: the Wieprecht era - the development
of military music, the three types of music (infantry, Jaeger and

competitions. PART TWO Austria: the Leonhardt era, bandsmen as
"musical missionaries," reforms after 1848, types of music, drum
majors and drum dogs, regimental marches, Prussia's unrequited love
affair with Austrian music. PART THREE Musicians at war, what came
