Interesting facts
• Richard Strauss , 1864-1949, German composer. Strauss
brought to a culmination the development of the 19thcentury symphonic poem, and was a leading composer of
romantic opera in the early 20th cent. Son of a
celebrated horn player, he had extensive musical
instruction and began composing as a child of six. His
first major work, the symphony in D minor, was first
performed in 1880. Strauss's early works, in classical
forms, brought him instant acclaim. He succeeded Hans
von Bülow as conductor at Meiningen (1885-86) and later
as conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic concerts (189495). His friendship with the poet Alexander Ritter
influenced him to adopt the romantic aesthetic
philosophy and style of Liszt and Wagner . A group of
songs, the symphonic fantasy Aus Italien (1886), and the
symphonic poems Don Juan (1888) and Death and
Transfiguration (1889) were the first.
