Although he was born in Split, Croatia, of Belgian descent, Franz von Suppé’s nationality is defined less by his actual descendents than by the country and city where he lived and worked and had the great majority of his success, the Austrian capital, Vienna. It was here where, with assistance from the Johan Strausses and Franz Lehar, he helped to assure Vienna’s reputation as the operetta capital of the world. He achieved this by pioneering operetta as a major medium for the theatre. The overture to Light Cavalry is one of his two most famous works, the other being the Poet and Peasant Overture written as incidental music for a play of the same name.Der Schauplatz von Leichte Kavallerie, einer komischen Oper in zwei Akten aus dem Jahr 1866, ist Ungarn. Die hier bearbeitete Ouvertüre ist berühmt und spricht das Publikum besonders durch ihre feurigen Rhythmen, die sich mit wunderschönen melancholischen Phrasen abwechseln, an. Den absoluten Höhepunkt dieses Stückes bildet die musikalische Beschreibung eines Kavallerieritts durch die ungarische Steppe. Auch dieses bekannte Werk von Suppé hat Wil van der Beek meisterhaft für Blasorchester transkribiert.

Inspired by the operetta successes of Jacques Offenbach in Vienna, Franz von Suppé (1819-1895) began composing his first stage works from 1860 onward. “Isabella,” his comedic opera in one act from 1869, had its premiere in Vienna. The overture features both Spanish and Viennese melodies. Although Suppé's music doesn't always exhibit a typical Viennese sound, he secured a place in concert halls with his overtures such as “Poet and Peasant” or “Light Cavalry.”.
