RICHARD STRAUSSRichard Strauss was o leading German composer of the late romantic and early modern era!
A truly strange man he had it all opposite from the beginning.
For instance he studied philosophy in the university ,but not music!!!!!!!It seems that he had passed some mocking remarks about the score of Tristan und Isolde of Wagner,something which later he corrected saying he regretted deeply about these comments!
To my opinion he was deeply influenced by Wagner`s music and one can hear his operas to feel it instantly!!!!!!!!!
A very strange person indeed, he seemed to suffer, after having been married to a bossy wife.An ex -soprano ill eccentric but it seems they had a happy life together! All the roles and all the characters of his operas ,were based on the soprano voice!
In this post we shall not referee to the famous operas of the composer but to the TONDICHTUNGEN OR SYMPHONY POEMS.OR TONE POEMS AS RICHARD STRAUSS PREFERED.
