Strauß (Sohn), Johann: Die Fledermaus -Overture

The overture is performed at the beginning of Johann Strauss II's most successful operetta, The Flying Fox. It is a potpourri-style song in which the beautiful melodies that appear in the play are played one after another. Reminiscent of the stage of a glamorous operetta, this pocket score is one of Johann Strauss II's masterpieces. The score is very easy to read and easy to use in a variety of situations. The new commentary by Junko Shibatsuji is very useful for performance and appreciation.
