Overture to the Operetta – Urtext of the Johann Strauß Complete Edition. Composed by Johann Strauss Jr. This edition: stapled. Orchestra; stapled. Orchester-Bibliothek (Orchestral Library). Overture; Romantic; Late-romantic. Part. 8 pages. Duration 7:00. Breitkopf and Haertel #OB 5830-15. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.OB-5830-15).ISBN 9790004355596. 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.
