Re: [Cz-L] Czardasfurstin

 The libretto was written by Leo Stein who wrote librettos
  for Kalman, Lehar and Strauss.
    He wrote for the Viennese audience in their language .
     He doesnt need our corrections.
      The Viennese understood him too well.
              BTW what do mean by correct German ?
