This very funny opera was produced in 1912, the year after Strauss' most famous opera, Der Rosenkavalier. Another collaboration with librettist Hugo von Hoffmansthal, it was revised in 1916
The full score is useful for study, for armchair conducting and, of course, for performance. Singers and pianists will be happier with the vocal score, which is easier to carry about in rehearsal, but which only contains a piano reduction of the score.
This is a reprint of an out-of-copyright edition from another publisher, and as such, is not entirely in accordance with some modern perfomance practices. Nevertheless, it still represents incredibly good value-for-money.
