Asow I p. 156. <br /> <br /> Strauss "emerged soon after the deaths of Wagner and Brahms as the most important living German composer. During an artistic career which spanned nearly eight decades he composed in virtually all musical genres but became best known for his tone poems composed during the closing years of the 19th century and his operas from the early decades of the 20th. .<br /> <br /> Shortly after the Guntram première he decided to compose a one-act opera Till Eulenspiegel bei den Schildbürgern though he never got beyond an incomplete text draft. Why he scrapped the opera for a tone poem is not clear but judging from his programme notes the symphonic work is based on a different scenario: 'Once upon a time there was a knavish fool named Till Eulenspiegel. He was a wicked goblin up to new tricks'. Till rides on horseback through the market mocks religion disguised as a cleric flirts with women engages in academic double talk with his philistine audience and by the end finds himself on the scaffold soon to be hanged. Strauss did not call Till a tone poem but rather a 'Rondeau Form for Large Orchestra'. Richard Specht suggested this might well have been the first prank given that the only connection with the old French forme fixe is in the spelling. Strauss later described the structure as being an 'expansion of rondo form through poetic content' and cited Beethoven's Eighth Symphony as his model. Given the libertine qualities of young Till as well as the episodic nature of the work a rondo would seem quite appropriate. But as in Don Juan the form is hardly conventional: the sense of rondo is achieved mostly by the return of Till's two themes to articulate his various adventures. Completed in May 1895 the compact Till Eulenspiegel was introduced with great success six months later and remains Strauss's most often performed orchestral piece. That he had learnt much about orchestral detail and nuance during the six years since Tod und Verklärung is evinced by his brilliant use of the ratchet when Till rides through the market or by the piercing D clarinet when he whistles in the face of death."

183626800Wien: Tobias Haslinger PN T.H. 6957 1836. Oblong folio. Modern dark blue cloth-backed blue boards. 1f. decorative title with vignette i printed dedication to Nikolaus von Meinau 4-11 i blank pp. Engraved. First Edition. Schönherr & Reinöhl pp. 135-137. Weinmann Strauss p. 18. <br /> <br /> "Verve and a fiery spirit lie at the heart of Strauss's compositions. Of his waltzes one contemporary writer colourfully observed: 'In his waltzes a profusion of melodies effervesce and bubble fizz and froth dash and sweep like the five hundred thousand devils in the champagne slipping their bonds and flinging one cork after another into the air'. As a pioneer of the waltz Strauss along with Lanner established the foundations upon which more extended and developed melodic line and ambitious harmony and structure could be built by their successors in the field of dance music."
