Catalogue Note
Der Zigeunerbaron is one of Strauss's most famous operettas, premiered at the Theater an der Wien on 24 October 1885. This March-Couplet is sung by Kálmán Zsupán and chorus in the final scene, when the returning Hungarians give an account of their (inadvertent) victory against the Turks. In the score, this number is marked alla breve, i.e. in 2/2 time (not 2/4 as here). For the image, please see the inside front cover.
