Re: [ARSCLIST] Lysistrata Overture (2)

[David Lennick <dlennick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Of course in 1918, works of German origin often didn't have composer credits or 
anything that could be considered unpatriotic on the record labels. The Victor 
Book of the Opera even omitted all German composers for the duration, so Lincke 
could very likely be the composer if this record was pressed during The Great 
War. Does "Glow Worm" turn up anywhere in the Overture?
