Suppe's sparkling seven-minute overture was composed for a stage play with added music first performed in Vienna's Theater in der Josefstadt on February 26, 1844 under the composer's baton.

Suppe's operetta "Dichter und Bauer" (Poet and Peasant) was the first to earn him a reputation as a composer in Vienna. His reputation as a conductor was established two years before at the Theater in der Josefstadt, where he composed incidental music to the play "Ein Morgen, ein Mittag, und ein Abend in Wien," whose overture remains in the orchestral repertoire to this day.

By the 1860s, the operettas of French composer Jacques Offenbach were becoming ppopular with the Viennese audience. Franz von SuppE, already established in the Austrian Imperial capital as an operetta composer and conductor, found the new competition stimulating enough to produce a new two-act operetta based upon the classic tale of the sculptor Pygmalion falling in love with his statue of GalathEe. The first performance was given in Berlin on June 30, 1863 with the Vienna premiere at the Carltheater on September 9, 1865. "Die schone Galathée" proved to be one of the composer's most...

Haydn composed his famous concerto especially for trumpet for his friend Anton Weidinger (1766-1852), a virtouoso performer who developed a special keyed trumpet which allowed a full chromatic scale. Weidinger's invention, while somewhat successful, was ultimately superceded by the valve system used now in the 1830s. Haydn's concerto was first performed on March 28, 1800 in Vienna, with Weidinger as soloist - not long after his appointment as Imperial Royal Court and Theatre trumpeter. The new study score offered here is a reduced-size format of the newly engraved and well-reserached large...

This famous overure is often not credited to the person who actually composed it, the Vienna conductor Carl Binder (1816-1860). It was composed for a Vienna production of Offenbachs operetta and incorporates a some of the more well-known tunes, including the very popular Galop, or Can-Can.

The score offered here is a reduced-format version of the newly edited and engraved score prepared by Clark McAlister first issued in large score and parts...

First heard with the opera's premiere on August 3, 1829 in Paris' Theatre de l'Academie Royale de Musique, Rossini's classic overture has been popular ever since even though the opera itself is only rarely perfomed now. Despite its tremendous popularlty, this overture has not been treated very well by publishers over the decades. Part of the problem stems from the composer's own manuscripts which were the product of rapid composing under pressure from opera houses. Many things which were simply assumed by performers of the era from their first appearance and applied to analogous passages...
