Till Eulenspiegel, Strauss’s mischievous prankster, is a character from fourteenth century traditional German folk legends. Concerned with orchestral detail Honeck in the notes explains that in the trial scene he has heightened the pitch of the D clarinet to make it more audible.
Strauss in 1894, aged 30 Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks (German: Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche , pronounced [tɪl ˈoʏ̯lənʃpiːɡl̩s ˈlʊstɪɡə ˈʃtraɪçə] ), Op. 28, is a tone poem written in 1894–95 by Richard Strauss .
Don Juan, Op. 20, tone poem for orchestra by German composer Richard Strauss, first performed in Weimar on November 11, 1889. One of the earliest tone poems by Strauss, Don Juan tells of the legendary Spanish libertine Don Juan, who by then already had appeared in works by Mozart and other composers.
Generally agreed to be autobiographical in nature despite contradictory statements on the matter by the composer, the work contains more than thirty quotations from Strauss's earlier works, including Also sprach Zarathustra, Till Eulenspiegel, Don Quixote, Don Juan, and Death and Transfiguration .
Dohnanyi, also in Vienna, gives stylish but unsentimental (like Strauss himself!) readings of Death and Transfiguration and Metamorphosen, the latter refreshingly transparent and unsticky. He then moves back to Cleveland for a light and lively Till Eulenspiegel.
