Re: [ARSCLIST] Barber of Bagdad question

[Steven Smolian <smolians@xxxxxxxxx>]

There were two overtures to the opera, both by Cornelius.  One in B minor 
came earlier than the one on the record.  Liszt gets into the arrangement 
act also.  See the footnote to the entry in WERM.

I find the whole work delighful with a fun ending.    Saalam alleikum!
