Extra Information Though no opus number is listed, this is most probably Op.80 (Monatsbericht (1852), p.198; thus Wehle's two-piano arrangement [Monatsbericht (1855), p.683] is probably of Kullak's Op.80), as the arrangement contains a theme from the opera ("Ronde bohémienne" from Act 1, No.6) that does not appear in Kullak's other works based on this opera (Fantasie über 'Ein Feldlager in Schlesien', Op.30 [said to be the same as Op.9 No.12] and Caprice-fantaisie sur des thêmes favoris de 'Le camp de Silésie', Op.41; although Ein Feldlager in Schlesien / Le camp de Silésie [Vielka] is an earlier opera, L'étoile du nord uses some of the same themes, including the aforementioned Ronde).
