Croatia is proud to claim him as its own, and he was indeed born in what is now that country, although at the time it was in the Kingdom of Dalmatia within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His parents were Austrian, and his father was assigned to Dalmatia in a civil-servant capacity. The family was actually of Belgian extraction. Franz was distantly related to Gaetano Donizetti, who encouraged his career as a composer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis operettas were of their time, and almost none of them are produced today. What keeps his name alive are his operetta overtures, principally those for his  Dichter und Bauer  (Poet and Peasant, 1846) and  Leichte Kavallerie  (Light Cavalry, 1866), but sometimes those for  Ein Morgen, Mittag und Abend in Wien  (Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna, 1844) and  Die schone Galathee  (Beautiful Galatea, 1865). Suppe had already used some material from the Poet and Peasant Overture in two works before this overture reached its final form, heading the operetta that would make it famous. Its delicious episodes include a lyrical cello solo, an infectious waltz, and a syncopated, cancan-flavored Allegro sprepitoso ( boisterous allegro ). They suggest that the entire operetta must be a delight, though few of us can hope to ever see it onstage.  -James M.
