Wow! Merry-go-Round 1 is such a great value!

[@akirak1871]

iloveihop07 HAHA! I thought this sounded familiar! I had actually heard an early 1900s rendition by Pietro Frosini, and it always conjured up images of that merry-go-round in my head. I never put two and two together until now!

Merry-Go-Round 1 was great.

[@laurienkennedy2578]

It was my dad, John Kennedy - father of Nigel Kennedy. I grew up with this recording. ❤️

[@robertogalvez1578]

😮

[@vorspiel1023]

Love this! I am a violinist, and the first time I played it was in a College Orchestra. We gave a Concert at University of Texas, and when the Cello began that beautiful obbligato, near the beginning, most of the audience began to clap, briefly. Our Conductor kept going, puzzled, for he did NOT realize that it sounded just "The Eyes of Texas", the University fight song!

[@darrylgonzalez78]

Yes. And evidence shows that the cello solo was the inspiration for the tune that was used by both "I've Been Working on the Railroad" and "The Eyes of Texas". This overture is a beautiful piece. I wish I could hear the entire opera!

[@darrylgonzalez5251]

I did some research on the similarity, with the assistance of the Texas State Historical Society. It turns out that in 1850, the owner of the opera house that von Suppe worked in migrated to Texas. He brought with him copies of various overtures, including this one. When he arrived, he organized musical societies called Singspiels here. The most requested and played piece of music at these events was this overture, and specifically that obbligato. The two University of Texas students who wrote "The Eyes of Texas" were Longhorn Band members, and either attended or played in the minstrel shows put on by these Singspiels. The tune was also used for "I've Been Working On the Railroad".

[@JoeJoe-ng9qb]

[@paulsmith3184]

Most of us can attribute our love of the classics via cartoons. Disney, Warner, et al showed us the way. I wish the younger generation could have the same advantages to listen and learn the way we did. I don't care at all for rap, heavy metal oprettas or jazz. Thank God there are still choices for everyone. BUT the classics will always remain....forever

[@dalewetmore2105]

Bugs Bunny cut some his capers to this piece,also Tom and Jerry.

[@nahor88]

paul smith There is also a Popeye cartoon that exclusively features this piece. However, they completely bastardized the "Poet" portion, didn't even feature a cello.

[@danatronics9039]

Cartoons? This is from a video game...

[@rr7firefly]

+paul -- You are a fortunate one. I also consider myself lucky to have heard loads of classical music as a child. Years later that familiarity provides a good foundation for more complex pieces.

[@ricardoalbertotuma704]

[@alanpadg1960]

I was 8 years old and this was the "ushering in" music at morning assembly at my junior school, and I remember thinking what a wonderful piece of music it was. Now, 50 years later, it still gives me goosebumps. Bravo Suppé!!

[@markmitchell3218]

My father used to wake us up on Sunday mornings for church by blasting this album very loudly. I have to admit, if you have to get woken up suddenly, this is the perfect way for that to happen.

[@alanmunns4163]

"Poet and Peasant" What a fabulous piece of music, I could listen to this all day and never get tired of it, "Wonderful".

[@NlandC]

Von Suppe's works are incredibly beautiful and filled with passion. One of my favorite composers.

[@PatrickOReilly-r3g]

As a child and in early teens I played clarinet in a brass and reed band. This is one of the pieces our wonderful conductor, Patrick McKeown, RIP, carried us through. Loved it then and still do, a long lifetime later. Happy to say my daughter also prizes it. Wunderbar, Franz Von Suppe.

[@vivianegamet683]

This wonderful overture is simply awe inspiring and majestic. In these so often dreary times of uncertainty this is the kind of music that keeps me alive with hope with its frequent interspersed moments of gentile beauty and thunderous power. Franz von Suppé has lifted my spirits yet again.

[@queballed]

The huge rich melodies and such powerful blends make this such a majestic piece of music. It is just an incredible piece of work. With the many different orchestras that exist it would be delightful to hear the variations..

[@GreatSageGoku]

Thanks, Noveltoons, for introducing me to this song in Hep Cat Symphony (1949).

[@mhawkin2]

I remember playing this and man was I exhausted after playing this. But, I was glad I had gotten a chance to play this difficult piece.

[@psbtwo]

This has special meaning to me....my father and I played this at the City talent show, 1 piano, 4 hands, the last time we played the piano together.

[@karlheven8328]

InfinyteGard3n I listened to a lot of classical music in my.childhood but mostly piano music and Bach and sacral /church music. And I hated it. But now some.months ago I came across these operettes and I absolutely adore them.

[@alanchalloner2473]

I am pleased to hear that you have reached a level of satisfaction. Have you yet found Gilbert & Sullivan comic operas? My favourite is The Mikado.

[@fassstEddie]

In 1949 I was introduced to classical music by my 4th grade teacher, Mrs. O'Neal at the South Fort Worth Elementary School. She took a few of us who had volunteered to go see Girl of the Golden West. I was hooked and to this day love classical music. I was also 11 years old. btw, just tonight I discovered Franz von Suppé. I have converted all his compositions to mp3.

[@chingblancaflor]

My father's favorite.(RIP). This was my recital piece in high school. I wish I could play it again....after more than 4 decades!!! In memory of my deceased father.

[@petarpants]

used to have this on a Pianola roll as a kid in the family home growing up, this was my favourite song to pedal and inspired me to play music, now I'm almost 30 and music is basically my life :) I feel blessed. Love to everyone!

[@thomashogan4908]

And love to you Peter. One of the nuns who taught me in grade school could play this all the way without sheet music. Oh how my heart aches for those days!

[@tgv3000]

Franz von Suppé est né le 18 avril 1819 à Split ,Dalmatie ,Empire d'Autriche. Il est donc de nationalité autrichienne. Il est décédé le 21 mai 1895 à Vienne. Sa musique est superbe !!!

[@caballerohorus]

Honestly, this is the work that opened the way for me to the wonderful world of classical music. And sometimes I affirm that I have this work created for me, because I am of peasant origin and a poet for love. This exquisite melody has always made me vibrate.

[@circusitch]

The cello solo is one of the selections they play when you go to heaven.

[@SpookShow-dp3yf]

I spent almost an hour trying to find this after I heard it in a Ren and Stimpy cartoon. Worth it.

[@topsalespro]

I was first introduced to this highly entertaining thrilling musical composition by of all things a Popeye cartoon. Yes, that right Popeye. Often cartoons of the early days would use classical music. In this particular cartoon, the entire gang is there, and the the entire music is played with Popeye and Bluto coming to blows, fighting throughout the cartoon. No question it was my favorite Popeye cartoon forever indebted to the producers fior whom without which i probably would never have been intrdouced to the Poet and Peasant Overture..

[@georgedevries3992]

You reffering to the episode "The Spinach Overture" right?

[@ramblerclassic400]

I loved that jazzy piano solo that Popeye played in that cartoon.

[@wjm5972]

they built a helluva skyscraper though

[@Krzyszczynski]

Seem to remember it featured fragmentarily (phew!) in another Popeye cartoon - the one where his four nephews are practising their music. After finishing this piece they let rip with a spot of jazz. Then it's bedtime, but they have to keep a-playing somehow. So they improvise tunes on ornaments, bits of bedroom furniture, etc, and end by driving their poor uncle barmy with the row.

[@darrylgonzalez78]

It was also featured in Walt Disney's "The Barnyard Concert". Mickey Mouse conducts a barnyard orchestra playing this piece (an abbreviated version).

[@SuperSnk1]

This is beyond music. It is Enchanting,Enjoyable and the Orchestration is so perfect that you want to hear it over and over. Overall it is just Captivating, Refreshing and wonderful.

Frank Von Suppe’ Poets & Peasants overture. I heard this while listening to the Vienna New Year Music Concert. It’s a delightful piece of music I really enjoyed his musical rendition of this overture. It’s full of exciting music just the sort you want to get up and dance to. Well Done to Riccardo Muti conductor and the Vienna Phil. for putting on a fabulous performance under such a strict regime.

I have not heard this piece for about 55 yrs. My dad had it on a 78 rpm and played it on the wind up gramophone. I seem to remember accidentally sitting on it when I was about 6-7 yrs old.

[@2curious2us]

+thomas thompson This came first before any railroad song, so there, who is imitating who?

[@tomtriffid]

Say, that never occurred to me. But I think you're right, Von Suppe composed his piece in 1846, and "I've been working on the railroad didn't make its appearance until 1894. I think they owe royalties to Von Suppe's estate.

[@vorspiel1023]

I played this years ago, at a Concert at University of Texas. That short thematic passage by the solo Cello is also very suggestive if "The Eyes of Texas", the University fight song at U.T. The audience all perked up when we launched into that. They also woke up when the "storm" begins.

[@Trafficconeboy]

I listened to this song on CD everyday and I know it by memory

[@Alphlond]

Franz von Suppe was only 27 when he composed this; I'm 34 and have dreamed of being a composer for a long time, yet I still struggle with music theory. I guess some people just have all the luck. If I could compose stuff like this, I would be rich and famous.

[@christianmiranda23]

look into the works of Timothy Ferris. He really deconstructs learning and on his tv show learns things like drums and rally car racing in 5 days. he has 3 very good books. 4 hour chef, 4 hour body, and 4 hour work week.

[@dollon2753]

Well, you could still be a fine composer some day, but let me tell you a thing or two if may; an artist shouldn't compare himself to others, nor should drive his soul towards fame and money. Music is something pure, you have to set your intentions to love music (and composing music in particular) as much as life, and to try to produce the best of your feelings into notes instead of trying to produce music for other purposes. I know it may be frustrating to think you may NEVER be as good as someone else(even though you practice a lot, and if you don't then you should), but being better or as good as someone else really isn't the purpose of music. Beethoven continued to compose music(string quartets) on his death bed, and some critics say that he lost his talent on that bed. But if you really listen to his last pieces, you may hear that he wrote it to please his own soul, just something private and sacred for himself, just to express the feelings he had on paper. That is exactly what an artist should do, it's never about the side effects. Another thing, if you compose something like this overture in today's pop culture, believe me; you probably won't have the fame you hoped for.

[@virgilsoule3423]

You must have a talent for something. I love math, particularly calculus, but don't have a talent for it. It's a skill I need to continually work at to keep it sharp. Same with composing or playing an instrument -- takes practice.

[@artymowycz]

In this day in age having your works validated is quite easy through mass media. You need to practice composing music, doesnt mean you need to write it down, you dont need theory to create music. If you think you have the musical ideas then find a way to show it.
