Ritter Toggenburg

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

"Sir Toggenburg" ("Ritter Toggenburg") is a ballad by

Goethe.[1][2] The text was used to inspire a symphonic poem of the same name by the New German composer and conductor Wendelin Weißheimer.[3]
Its premiere was given in Leipzig on 1 November 1862, though factions of the Leipzig public boycotted the concert, and the hall was only half full.
