The Klapka Induló (Klapka March), also known as Föl, föl, vitézek a csatára, (Rise, Rise Soldiers to the Battle) is a Hungarian military march written in the 19th century. It is named after GeneralGyörgy Klapka who served as the Minister of War during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848.[1] It was written in 1849 by composer and translator Béni Egressy to honor Klapka as a great commander and Hungarian patriot.[2] Specifically, it was composed during the defense of the Komárno fortification system in the Fourth Battle of Komárom from Austro-Russian forces. On 4 August 1849, who was in the besieged Komárom at the time he wrote his composition, handed over the piece to revolutionary personnel.[3] The lyrics to the march were later written in 1861 by Kálmán Thaly.[4][5][6]
