It is widely accepted that the author of the famous «Zaporizhian March» alone is the Romny kobzar Yevhen Adamtsevych, a student of Musiy Oleksiyenko.

In one letter to him Yevhen Adamtsevych wrote: Now regarding Zaporizhian March.In 1926 I heard the melody; the first part - from kobzar Ivan Kyrylovych Polozhai, the second part, the major one, I composed and after combining them together, gave the name to Zaporizhian March.In addition the Yevhen Adamtsevych first performed it in public - to the general public march became known in 1969 thanks to the performance of the blind bandurist.

The main theme of the composition consists of syncopation and descending melodies which in the technique national bandurists played with fingers sliding on the strings that was first used by a bandura player Hnat Khotkevych in instrumental accompaniment for his composition of folk song about Baida («Poem of Baida», 1912), which he orchestrated in 1930.

Above the fascinated hall sparked and extinguished wonderful moment which to repeat, to hold no one would.Yevhen Adamtsevych performed the march very expressively, vigorously, putting all his skills and emotional imagery.

The conductor of State Orchestral Viktor Hutsal recollected: I realized that this piece should sound at large scale and majestically.

After performing the march at the Bolshoi Theatre (Moscow), it became an interest of party leaders who worried about a very heightened spiritual atmosphere among the audience.
