Fritz Kruger's "Funny quartet" in the relatively rare instrumentation of oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon makes the fun, many popular works of Radetzky March to Freischütz present humorous allusions as scherz-potpourri.
For the first time this work was printed in 1894 from the publisher Lehne & Co, Hanover.
Wolfram Huschke reports in his book "Future Music - A History of the Academy of Music Franz Liszt in Weimar", Böhlau Verlag, 2006, of a performance on 7 April 1922 as part of a benefit concert of joyous teachers in favor of cropping in the Weimar Music Academy.
Who was the composer or arranger Fritz Kruger better now, it was investigated to get nothing.
