| Abstract | The tone poems of Richard Strauss are a cornerstone of the orchestral repertoire and occupy a position in his output second only to that of the operas. In this guide the author surveys the development of his mastery of the genre, from Macbeth in the 1880s to such large-scale canvasses as the Symphonia Domestica and the Alpine Symphony, composed in the early years of the twentieth century, and including, of course, Don Juan, Tod und Verklärung, Till Eulenspiegel, Also sprach Zarathustra, Don Quixote and Ein Heldenleben. |
