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 repertoire soon after its premiere. The study score offered here is a thoroughly-researched and beautifully engraved new edition prepared by conductor Clark McAlister. Besides the convenient format study score offered here, McAlister's excellent edition is also available as a large condcutor score and orchestral parts.
