Trenner p. 128.<br/><br/>In the series Philharmonia-Facsimiliedrucke number 3.<br/><br/>"The most metaphysical of his tone poems Tod und Verklärung 1888-9 is based not on a literary text but on a narrative of the composer's own conception: a dying artist obsessed by an artistic Ideal is transfigured at death to recognize his Ideal in eternity. A poem by Ritter published in the score postdates the composition though the musical theme for the Ideal may have been inspired by one from Ritter's symphonic waltz Olafs Hochzeitsreigen. In Tod und Verklärung death is less the issue than transfiguration a lifelong fascination for Strauss with its abundant musical possibilities one that manifests itself from Rosenkavalier through to Metamorphosen."

Without dedication leaf. <br/><br/>Die Ägyptische Helena an opera in 2 acts to a libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal was first performed at the Dresden Staatsoper 6 June 1928 with Fritz Busch conducting.<br/><br/>"Strauss's score is loyally inventive. The 'thematic transformations' are endless the orchestral pictures fresh the pace well varied. If the musical tagging of every dramatic element sounds like period routine the opera has a saving lyrical grace: more relaxed and fluid than either his preceding Hofmannsthal opera Die Frau ohne Schatten or the more recent Intermezzo to his own text."

Having seen Reinhardt's riveting production of Hofmannsthal's Elektra in the autumn of 1905 Strauss was convinced the play would make a compelling opera. Not entirely sure he should compose consecutive tragedies he nonetheless gave in to Hofmannsthal's pleading and vigorously began composing Elektra in the summer of 1906. As he had with Oscar Wilde's Salome he set the play to music which was finished in 1908 and given its première in 1909 as part of a Strauss opera festival in Dresden. Elektra failed to outshine her flashier sister but confirmed Strauss's pre-eminence among German opera composers." Bryan Gilliam in Grove Music Online. Adolph Fürstner [PN A.5654F] unknown books
