Symphonic Poem, Till
Eulenspiegel Richard Strauss
One of the outstanding events of the present season is the visit of Richard Strauss and the Dresden Opera Company, with which he has long been associated and which is appearing at Covent Garden this week and next. On June 11, 1936, Richard Strauss celebrated his seventy-second birthday. Nearly fifty years have passed since Strauss startled the complacency of the world of music with his tone poem 'Don Juan Despite the lesson of Wagner, conservative critics, professional musicians, and plain men attacked Strauss for being an extremist and a cacophonist, and some even linked his name with Ibsen because of the corrupt influence alleged to be found in his music I
Unforgettable Moments
Apart from his great constructive skill, power of thematic development and brilliant orchestral virtuosity, the eloquence and lyrical beauty of so many of his themes and the rhythmic vitality of the music as a whole are features that have an immediate and vivid appeal. Of unforgettable moments in Strauss's works there are many : for instance, the tender simplicity of the epilogue in ' Till ', the exquisite music of which suggets that he was not altogether a rogue ; the poignant and equally simple ending to Don Quixote ', which shows us how fine is the dividing line between pathos and bathos. But perhaps the most beautiful and expressive pages of all are to be found at the close of his autobiographical 'A Hero's Life', which Mengelberg conducts this Wednesday.
In addition to being a great composer,
Richard Strauss excels no less as a conductor, in which capacity he has accomplished a great deal of important work, particularly as an interpreter of his own compositions and those of Mozart.
