grand_finaleO du mein Österreich 
A march composed by Ferdinand Preis in 1852, based (with permission) on a piece by Franz von Suppé ("Das ist mein Österreich,") which wasn't a march. This arrangement is much more popular and widely-known than the original composition of von Suppé's. The title translates to: "Oh, you, my Austria." Another march from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, at a time it was still the Austrian Empire. It's still played in modern Austria to this day, and in fact this march was used as a temporary stand-in for a national anthem in 1946. At a soccer match between Austria and France, because no official national anthem for Austria had yet been chosen after WWII ended, this march was played to represent Austria.

This is not a soft, nuanced piece. It is loud, unsubtle, and you can definitely hear the title being 'said' through the notes. Very easily!
Given that, I thought it'd be good for an icon where Nonon looks like she's definitely sort of interrogating the speaker.
This is far from the only icon named after a piece by von Suppé, but it's one of his briefer, more obscure works. I will save further notes about him for a future writeup.
