Hector Berlioz did some violence to the geography of Goethe's great drama Faust in order to introduce the famous Rá kó czy March where Faust leaves the scene as this is heard in the first part of La damnation de Faust, Op. 24.
He had arranged and used this for a successful concert in the capital Pest. The march itself, by an anonymous Hungarian composer, celebrates the Hungarian patriot Count Rá kó czy, who led a rising against Austrian rule in the early eighteenth century.
