German term

German to English
Art/Literary
Music
Text is talking about Felix Weingartner's 5th symphony. I suspect, though, that the phrase I'm looking for is actually "lifted" from a song in the operetta "The Gypsy Baron"(Der Zigeunerbaron, Joh. Strauss), because the text is full of "clever" references like this.
