The Swiss composer Theophil Furter (1871-1954) played in several amateur wind bands of his home area before he became conductor of the 'Harmonie' band at Steffisburg and the Spiez Municipal Band. He founded his own publishing firm in Thun and composed a series of waltzes and marches. Molenaar Edition published several of his marches, such as 'Die alte Garde', 'Karl Kupfer Marsch', 'Mit klingendem Spiel' and this '12. Regiment Marsch' (Twelth Regiment March).
