Johann Strauss II’s Laughing Song (Mein Herr Marquis) from Act II of Die Fledermaus (1874) is one of the most sparkling and beloved soprano showpieces in all of operetta. In this arrangement for soprano saxophone and piano by Peter Gross, the irresistible charm and wit of the original are captured in an instrumental setting that showcases the soprano saxophone’s bright, vocal-like tone.

The soprano saxophone’s singing quality makes it a natural fit for this operatic melody, and the playful, dance-like character of the Laughing Song comes through with great charm and immediacy.
