My arrangement of this potpourri by Oscar Fetras based on themes from popular (and now mostly forgotten) operetta melodies.

As always with works of this period (1910?) I am a bit out of my comfort zone. The style of popular music and its fashionable orchestration changes over time and after 1880-ish I lose touch or sympathy with it. Consequently, some of this sounds like Lehar orchestrated by Strauss.

There is a version of this on Youtube for pianola. If you want to hear how mechanical music has changed over the last century, it’s worth a listen.

I now have a new computer, Windows 11, Dorico 6, Noteperformer 5 and some of the tools I use to create videos with have disappeared. You can imagine the joy I had creating this. There are still some balance issues I think but it’s getting there.
