RICHARD STRAUSS TRACES OF METAPHYSICS IN DEATH AND TRANSFIGURATION
Was STRAUSS`ES music influenced by metaphysical worries?????It is a known fact that Dr.Srauss had studied philosophy in the university and also the time of the composition he called DEATH AND TRANSFIGURATION was right after his university studies.He was either trying to prove to the world what was he able to do in this field,or he was studying the problem of the soul`s existence after death.Whatever moved him to that it is an unparalleled piece of music,with strong contrasts as regards the distribution of forces to the orchestra,with rich massive sounds,creating a rewarding and mysterious atmosphere!
