The old Austrian march that made its way into bluegrass and country music. Pick/strum style on the Martin D-35.

Do you have any thoughts on why this became abridged?

I think it’s one of those 19th century tunes like Home Sweet Home and Red Wing that was picked up by popular musicians who weren’t classically trained. They took their favourite part(s) and turned it into a shorter musical showpiece.

Hmm, I'm not "classically trained". I like the Walter Jacobs arrangement for banjo.

Joel, how on earth do you get those low B notes,, is the fourth string at B?  Are there any recordings of this?
