Rodolphe Kreutzer (1766-1831) 

The English comic opera Lodoiska, a pasticcio (or compilation) from several continental operas of the same name, was first performed in London in 1794, and its overture, drawn from Kreuzter’s 1791 Paris Lodoiska, remained a favourite with British audiences for decades thereafter. It was equally popular in Sydney, as regularly played by military bandsmen in the Domain and at the theatre, and in sheet music piano solo arrangements, such as that published in Sydney by Francis Ellard, which can be seen below.
