Die Rosenkavalier-Fantasie uber das beruhmte Schluss-Duett der Oper stammt aus der Feder des 1882 in Melbourne geborenen Percy Aldridge Grainger. 1895 kam Grainger als Wunderkind nach Europa, gastierte haufig in London, wo sich sein Ruhm als virtuoser Konzertpianist und Komponist rasch verbreitete. Die hier vorliegende Rosenkavalier-Transkription ist lebendiger Beweis fur Graingers wichtigste Tugend: niemals langweilig zu sein.

No traditional tunes of any kind are made use of in this piece, in which I have wished to express my personal feelings about my own country (Australia) and people, and also to voice a certain kind of emotion that seems to me not untypical of native-born Colonials in general.Perhaps it is not unnatural that people living more or less lonelily in vast virgin countries and struggling against natural and climatic hardships (rather than against the more actively and dramaticly exciting counter wills of their fellow men, as in more thickly populated lands) should run largely to that patiently yearning, inactive sentimental wistfulness that we find so touchingly expressed in much American art; for instance in Mark Twains Huckleberry Finn, and Stephen C. Foster's adorable songs, My Old Kentucky Home, Old Folks at Home, etc. I have also noticed curious, almost Italian-like, musical tendencies in brass band performances and ways of singing in Australia (such as a preference for richness and intensity of tone and soulful breadth of phrasing over more subtly and sensitively varied delicacies of expression) which are also reflected here.Percy Aldridge Grainger.
