In the last decade of the 19th century the Paris cabarets the Moulin Rouge and Folies Bergère adopted the music of the "Galop infernal" from the culminating scene of the opera to accompany the can-can, and ever since then the tune has been popularly associated with the dance.
My arrangement is the final part of the Overture which was arranged by the Austrian musician Carl Binder (1816–1860) for the first production of the opera in Vienna, in 1860.
Arranged wind quintet.
