Suppe's operetta Dichter und Bauer (Poet and Peasant) was the first to earn him a reputation as a composer in Vienna. His reputation as a conductor was established two years before at the Theater in der Josefstadt, where he composed incidental music to the play Ein Morgen, ein Mittag, und ein Abend in Wien, whose overture remains in the orchestral repertoire to this day. By the premiere of Dichter und Bauer, at the Theater an der Wien on August 24, 1846, Suppe was no longer conducting for free. The operetta was successful and the overture entered the orchestral repertoire soon after. The opening cello solo was even quoted in the American song published in 1894 - I've been Working on the Railroad. The study score offered here is a reduced-format reissue the newly-engraved and researched by Clark McAlister large score first issued in 2007 by the now-defunct publisher E.F. Kalmus. Serenissima Music is proud to offer Dr. McAlister's catalog and the large score and parts for this superb edition are now again available.
