Ouverture Dichter und Bauer (Poet and Pesant) (1846)

Cincinnati Pops conducted by Erich Kuenzel

Dichter und Bauer (Poet and Peasant) was in 1900, after composer Franz von Suppé's death, made into an operetta in 3 acts using music by him. It premiered, however, as incidental music by Suppé to a Karl Elmar [de] comedy of that name on 24 August 1846 at the Theater an der Wien, in Vienna.[1] Its overture is famous. In 1936, Gustav Quedenfeldt wrote a new libretto based on Suppé's composition version "C".
