Sheet music: piano reduction of the beginning of act 3, scene 3 of Engelbert Humperdinck’s opera Hänsel und Gretel. The first line, for “He.” (Hexe, the Witch) has the staging instruction “Eine Stimme aus dem Häuschen” (a voice from the little house). It is highlighted in orange and reads: „Knusper, knusper Knäuschen, wer knuspert mir am Häuschen?“ (Crunchy, crispy creaks, who knips me at the cottage?).

„Knusper, knusper Knäuschen,
wer knuspert mir am Häuschen?“ — Knusperhexe
