Easily the most popular of the collection of overtures produced by Suppe for this operettas, the one for the 1866 Die Leichte Kavallerie entered the concert repetoire soon after its premiere. The study score offered here is a thoroughly-researched and beutifully engraved new edition prepared by conductor Clark McAlister. First offered as large conductor score and parts in 2007, the licensed reissue is now available as an easily affordable study score in a convenient format for study and enjoyment.
