Light Cavalry Overture sheet music from composer Franz von Suppé, original orchestra ensemble reduced for solo piano play.

Great cover art by Edward H. Pfeiffer

Tempo notes: Maestoso intro → Allegretto brillante “gallop” → Andantino con moto middle. Solo-piano reduction in A major (3 sharps) with big block triads and frequent octave doublings, rapid repeated/staccato chords, some broken-octave fanfares and occasional tremolo figures in the left hand.

Overall intermediate-advanced fanfare-style right-hand triads; left-hand octave bass; repeated chord punches—classic cavalry gallop.

Or, you just enjoy the cover art.
