From Maria Luisa Sogaro's introduction: the music adapts themes of Béla Bartók, taken from the collection For Children, which includes traditional Slovak and Hungarian melodies. For the gag of the Minstrels we have used Claude Debussy's cakewalk Le petit nègre and also "Oh! Fifi", a one-step by Marf and Mascheroni.
Wonderful and delightful, the Striking a New Note performances were the musical highlights of the 2009 GCM together with The Merry Widow.
