The Marriage Proposal | Soprano Cornet & Trombone Feature | Richard Genee arr Dario Salvi

Richard Genée, a highly skilled librettist, playwright and composer is one of the lesser known names in the Viennese repertoire, yet his work is justifiably famous. He is best known for his libretto of Die Fledermaus, Johann Strauss II’s most famous operetta, but also wrote many pieces of music in his own right, including the 1876 operetta ‘Der Seerkadet’.

Das Engagements, or The Marriage Proposal was discovered by Dario Salvi in the US Library of Congress, and arranged for Brass Band as a Soprano Cornet and Trombone Feature.
