Description:
The music for Johann Strauss' Operetta "Der Zigeunerbaron" is regularly performed today. The orchestral pieces that Strauss furnished from the work were also well-recognised, among them, the sparkling "Schatz-Walzer" as well as the polka "Brautschau" ("Looking for a Wife"). It features music from two of the operetta's most popular numbers: Zsupán's Act 1 aria "Ja, das Schreiben und das Lesen" and the Act 2 trio "Darum nur klopfe, klopfe, klopfe". The polka's title derives from the Act 1 maidens' chorus, "Hochzeitskuchen, bitte zu versuchen, kommt und schaut, hier die Braut!"
