Ever listen to von Suppe’s overtures...”Light Cavalry” is my favorite, but “Poet and Peasant” is also quite stirring..
They do some great Arts writing.
Used to read it all the time. They lost me in the 1990’s.

Like ‘em both, although I remember asking for and receiving an LP recording of the “Poet and Peasant” for my birthday when I was in junior high school back in the ‘50’s - recording was by the Boston Pops and Arthur Fiedler I think - so maybe that makes the P and P my favorite - hard to believe ( that I was in junior high in the ‘50’s, not that I asked for a recording of the Overture).....
Not fair to judge him by anything but his best output, and by that criterion his music was very good indeed.
So was I. Good to see a few old timers chiming in. And the Lone Ranger's music, all chosen from the public domain, couldn't have been more appropriate.
