Overview

This famous overure is often not credited to the person who actually composed it, the Vienna conductor Carl Binder (1816-1860). It was composed for a Vienna production of Offenbach's operetta and incorporates a some of the more well-known tunes, including the very popular Galop infernale, or Can-Can. The composer's own opening for his 1858 operetta is more of a short prelude or introduction, in contrast to the orchestral showpiece created by Binder. The score offered here is a reduced-format version of the newly edited and engraved score prepared by Clark McAlister first issued in 2008 by the now-defunct publisher E.F. Kalmus. Serenissima is please to now exclusively offer not only this study score but the large conductor score and orchestral parts, along with the many superb editions and orchestrations to be found in Dr. McAlister's catalogue.
