Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf is most well known for his Singspiel music. The genre is a type of German opera where there is some spoken dialogue mixed with arias and sung dialogue. These operas were typically light of a comic or romantic nature. Unfortunately, only six of Dittersdorf's Singspiels have made it to modern times.
