About this arrangement

Violoncello (2.2.2.2 – 4.2.3.0 – timp.perc(3) – str) SKU: BR.OB-5830-23 Overture to the Operetta – Urtext of the Johann Strauß Complete Edition. Composed by Johann Strauss Jr. Edited by Vorname Nachname. This edition: stapled. Orchestra; stapled. Orchester-Bibliothek (Orchestral Library). Overture; Romantic; Late-romantic. Part. 4 pages. Duration 7'. Breitkopf and Haertel #OB 5830-23. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.OB-5830-23). ISBN 9790004355626. 10 x 12.5 inches. The 1974 Strauss Complete-Edition music text of the operetta "The Bat", based on all the relevant historical sources, clears away as such some of the massive errors of earlier editions. The result is a strikingly purified, airy, almost understated Strauss. The performance material is a must for all orchestras wanting to produce from an authentically edited score what is probably the most frequently performed operetta overture ever. The fact that the introductory orchestral piece has a French title is in keeping with Strauss' terminology and is consistent with other genre designations in his operettas (couplet, entreact). Historically informed and authentic musical text; High-quality orchestral material based on the complete edition.
