_Der Obersteiger_ (_The Master Miner_)—book by M. West and L.
Held—received its première in Vienna on January 5, 1894. The setting is
a salt-mining district of Austria in or about 1840. Martin instigates a
strike among the miners, for which he is deprived of his job. To support
himself he organizes a band of musicians from among the miners and tours
the country. Eventually Martin returns to his mining town where he
finally manages to regain his job and to win Nelly, with whom he has
always been in love. The most popular song in the operetta is Martin’s
air with chorus, “_Wo sie war, die Muellerin_,” and its most delightful
waltz is “_Trauet nie dem blossen schein_.”
_Der Vogelhaendler_ (_The Bird-Seller_), once again with a book by M.
West and L. Held, was first heard in Vienna on January 10, 1891; but in
1933 it was presented in a new version in Munich adapted by Quedenfelt,
Brugmann and Bauckner. In the Rhine Palatinate in the 18th century,
Adam, a wandering bird-seller, is in love with Christel, but she refuses
to consider marriage unless he gets a permanent job. He gets that job on
the estate of the Elector Palatine at which point Christel is all too
willing to give up a projected marriage with Count Stanislaus for the
sake of her beloved Adam. The lovable melodies from this operetta—in the
best traditions of Suppé and Johann Strauss II—have made it a favorite
not only in Germany and Austria, but also throughout the rest of Europe,
in North and South America, and in South Africa. Among the musical
highlights of this operetta are the waltz “_Schau mir nur recht ins
Gesicht_”; the “Nightingale Song” (“_Wie mein Ahn’l zwanzig Jahr_”); the
pert march tune “_Kaempfe nie mit Frau’n_”; and Christel’s sprightly
air, “_Ich bin die Christel von der Post_.”
Karl Michael Ziehrer
Karl Michael Ziehrer, beloved Viennese composer of waltzes and
operettas, was born in Vienna on May 2, 1843. He was completely
self-taught in music. In 1863 he formed a café-house orchestra with
which he toured Austria and Germany, often featuring his own dance
pieces and marches. He later expanded this orchestra into an ensemble
numbering fifty players with which he gave a series of successful
concerts of semi-classical music in Vienna. In 1907 he became music
director of the court balls. After World War I he suffered extreme
poverty, his personal fortune having been lost with the collapse of the
Hapsburg monarchy. He died in want and obscurity in Vienna on November
14, 1922.
Ziehrer wrote more than five hundred popular pieces for orchestra,
including numerous marches and waltzes. His waltzes were particularly
favored, many of these in the style of Johann Strauss II. Some are still
extensively played. Probably the most famous of all his waltzes is
Wiener Maedchen (“Vienna Maidens”), which must rank with Lehár’s “Merry
Widow Waltz” as one of the most popular such dances produced in Vienna
since the time of Johann Strauss II. Its first melody sounds like a
Schubert Laendler, with the peasant vigor of its rhythm and its robust
tune; but the main subject is a soaring waltz in the finest traditions
of Viennese café-house music. The following are other famous Ziehrer
waltzes: “_Alt Wien_” (“Old Vienna”), “_Faschingskinder_” (“Carnival
Children”), and “_Wiener Buerger_” (“Viennese Citizens”), all three of
which come closest among his works in assuming the structural outlines
and the melodic identity of the Johann Strauss waltz classics. Also
popular are the “_Donauwalzer_” (“Waltzes from the Danube”) and
“_Evatochter_” (“Daughter of Eve”).
Ziehrer’s most famous operetta is _Die Landestreicher_ (_The
Vagabonds_)—book by L. Krenn and C. Lindau, first performed in Vienna on
July 26, 1899. In upper Bavaria two tramps—Fliederbusch and his wife
Bertha—manage to live by their wits. Disguised respectively as Prince
Gilka and a dancer they visit a famous resort hotel and are involved in
numerous adventures. By managing to retrieve a supposedly valuable lost
necklace for the Prince they finally win his favor and enter his
service. Of particular interest is the captivating waltz at the end of
the first act, “_Sei gepriesen, du lauschige Nacht_.”
From several of Ziehrer’s other operettas there come other delightful
waltzes, notably “_Samt und Seide_” from _Der Fremdenfuehrer_ (1902) and
“_Hereinspaziert_” from _Der Schatzmeister_ (1904).

Ewen’s
LIGHTER CLASSICS
IN MUSIC
by DAVID EWEN
In one brilliant volume, David Ewen offers a classic in musical
literature. Here are the treasured semi-classical works of two
continents—enduring, always alive—analyzed by a famed authority,
acclaimed as “music’s interpreter to the American people.” A must for
the music lover THE LIGHTER CLASSICS IN MUSIC is the first reference
book of its kind in any language.
Here is the music of Victor Herbert, Eric Coates, Jacques Offenbach,
Johann Strauss and Franz Lehár. This is the music of the salon,
café-house, pop concert, and operetta theatre.
THE LIGHTER CLASSICS IN MUSIC is also the story of the spontaneity and
creative invention of popular contemporary composers; Duke Ellington
(“Black, Brown, and Beige”), Morton Gould (“Yankee Doodle Went To
Town”), George Gershwin. These favorites are universally loved; their
long life-span is assured.
There is still a third story—a story of the genius of classical masters
who have produced works whose popular interest and subtle freshness
compels an immediate emotional impact. Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Brahms,
Chopin, Schubert—all have brought forth wonderlands of sound to delight
the senses.
The author needs no introduction to music afficionados. MUSIC FOR
MILLIONS went through six printings in as many years. A revised,
up-dated edition, EWEN’S MUSICAL MASTERWORKS, was soon demanded and
brought about. On the whimsical side, illustrator A. Birnbaum and Mr.
Ewen put their heads together and came up with LISTEN TO THE MOCKING
WORDS, a medley of anecdotes about music and musicians.
Now Mr. Ewen turns a brilliant musical literacy and easy, non-pompous
style exclusively to the lighter classics. Here are the lives of 187
composers; over 1000 perceptive analyses of musical masterpieces in the
lighter style prefaced by biographical sketches. An easy-to-use
alphabetical listing of the lighter classics makes it easy to get the
specific information you need.
THE LIGHTER CLASSICS IN MUSIC is an enduring book to be cherished by the
concertgoer, record collector, musician, instructor, historian—all music
lovers who know the universal sounds of music in the lighter style.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg
Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
