The Swiss conductor and composer, Oscar Tschuor studied with Luca Chresta in Chur, and at the Conservatorium of Zurich with Ernst Lüthold, but was largely self taught. In 1943 he founded the Youth Wind Orchestra of Chur, which he directed until 1956. He arranged folk tunes for wind orchestra, and composed diverse and beautiful marches, including the famous San Carlo march, Grus von Hausen, and this lively Arosa March, which he dedicated to the town of the same name in the canton of Graubunden, which is a renowned ski resort.

Le conducteur et compositeur suisse Oscar Tschuor faisait ses études entre autres au Conservatoire de Zürich chez Ernst Lüthold, mais était en grande partie autodidacte. En 1943 il fondait l'Harmonie de Jeunesse de Chur, dont il était conducteur jusqu'à 1956. Il arrangeait des airs folkloriques pour orchestre à vents et écrivait plusieurs jolies marches, dont les fameuses San Carlo et Gruss von Hausen, et celle-ci, Arosa, dédiée à la station d'hiver fameuse au canton de Graubunden.

De Zwitserse dirigent en componist Oscar Tschuor studeerde bij Luca Chresta in Chur en aan het Conservatorium van Zürich bij Ernst Lüthold maar was toch grotendeels autodidact. In 1943 stichtte hij het Jeugdharmonieorkest van Chur dat hij tot in 1956 dirigeerde. Hij bewerkte folkloristische wijsjes voor blaasorkest en schreef diverse mooie marsen, waaronder de bekende marsen San Carlo en Gruss von Hausen en deze pittige Arosa-Marsch opgedragen aan het gelijknamige stadje in het kanton Graubunden dat een vermaard wintersportoord is.
