Mein Herr Marquis

"Mein Herr Marquis" ("Laughing Song") is my favorite performace by Andre Rieu's band. This song was composed by my favorite classical composer Johann Strauss. Carla Maffioletti is an amazing soprano. Listen to that last note; she did it effortlessly. That note sounds like a G7, which is one note higher than the F7 in Mozart's "Queen of the Night Aria" and two notes higher than the E7 in Andrew Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera". Correct me if my ears are out of tune. :-P I don't have a tuner.
