A prolific writer of theatrical music whose works ranged from incidental music for operettas to full operas, Franz von Suppé (1819–95) is perhaps best known as the composer of the overture from which this collection takes its name. According to Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians, "Suppé is the earliest Viennese composer of musical farces whose works still survive as viable stage scores (and popular overtures) . . . . His light, fluent style includes the ability to vary a phrase length or melodic and rhythmic figure in a personal and immediately effective way."In addition to the title piece ― originally arranged for no less than 59 different combinations of instruments ― this compilation includes the Vienna Jubilee Overture and the overtures to three of the composer's most popular works: Morning,Noon and Night in Vienna; Beautiful Galatea; and Light Cavalry. Reprinted from authoritative editions and offered in a convenient single-volume format, these full scores will delight students, musicians, and admirers of the celebrated Austrian composer.

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 premiere of Dichter und Bauer, at the Theater an der Wien on August 24, 1846, Suppe was no longer conducting for free. The operetta was successful and the overture entered the orchestral repertoire soon after. The opening cello solo was even quoted in the American song published in 1894 - "I've been Working on the Railroad". The study score offered here is a reduced-format reissue the newly-engraved and reasreached large score first issued in 2007. <ul> <li>IMSLP page</li> <li>All Music Guide</li> </ul>
